The Central Region Police have arrested a 70-year-old man for burying his two-year-old grandson alive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The boy, who is also autistic, was buried at the shores of Dutch Komenda on Friday because he was considered a spirit child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But for the timely intervention of the Police, he would have been dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an interview with JoyNews, the Elmina Police Commander, Supt. Abraham Bansah, disclosed that the suspect Kwaku Baah repatriated the act under the direction of a spiritualist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He added that the child\u2019s parents have also been arrested with the grandfather for conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAll of them [the parents] have been arrested because they both conspired with the grandfather, Kwaku Baah, to do that. So they have all been arrested, and they are in our custody,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He also added that the Police are on a manhunt for the spiritualist for his role in the conspiracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAccording to them, the child is a boy of special needs or something like that; so, they needed to get rid of the child. The advice was given to them by one ritualist called Kwaku Baa. He is on the run.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, community residents have described the incident as barbaric and reprehensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
