An internte scammer popularly known in Ghana as a ‘Fraud boy’ has been lynched and set ablaze for allegedly beheading a 9-year-old boy at Assin Breku in the Central Region of Ghana.
The assailant known as Asuo is reported to have also chopped off the hands of the little boy.
The incident took place on Monday October 13.
Reports indicate that a woman observed a human hand within a sack held by Asuo.
The woman reportedly raised an alarm, prompting the entire community to gather at the scene to witness the situation.
A search was then launched to confirm if the murder had been committed.This led the residents to a path where the little boy’s lifeless body was lying in a pool of blood without his hand heightening suspicions that Asuo had murdered him.
According to reports, the irate crowd broke into Asuo’s home and discovered his blood-stained bedsheet and one of his t-shirts. This discovery incited the mob to lynch the suspect and set his body ablaze before the arrival of police officers.
The bodies of both the suspect and the victim have been sent to the mortuary for autopsy and further investigations.
