A 20-year-old man has killed his 8-year-old brother, Messiah Akomeah in a bush near Kwamo in the Ejisu Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

After the gruesome act, Samuel Obeng, returned home to inform his uncle about the murder.

He claimed a spirit possessed him to manipulate his brother to follow him to the remote location, where he was killed and tried to dispose of the body.

The almost decapitated body of the boy has since been found and deposited at the mortuary.
