A fetish priest identified as Eric has been arrested by police at Jacobu in the Ashanti Region for shooting his 14-year-old son to death.

According to a report by Despite Media’s Stephen Sekyere, the incident occurred during an altercation between the fetish priest and one of his two wives at home.

“During the misunderstanding, the priest barged into his room, pulled out a gun and pointed it at his wife. His little child attempted to block the shot by placing his hand on the nozzle but his father fired the shot and decapitated his hand. It didn’t end there, he pointed it and shot at his 14-year-old son who heard the noise and come out from the room. The boy unfortunately died instantly,” the reporter said.

According to the report, the surviving child has been admitted at the St. Peters Hospital in Jacobu while the father has been arrested and kept in custody by the police.

He is expected to be put before court before the end of the week.
