A 31-year-old farmer, Abdul Salam, has been arrested at Adidaase near Amanso Amenfi in the Wassa Amenfi East district of Western Region for the gruesome murder of his six-year-old son.

The farmer subsequently dismembered the body to sell the head and legs.

Energy FM’s Nanaba Boakye Ansah reported that an eyewitness explained that the boy got missing for days, prompting the unit committee of the area to mount a search for him.

The father, who was picked up for questioning, confessed during interrogation that he murdered the boy in order to sell his body parts.

He was then taken into custody by the Asankragua Police as further investigations continue.
