Tema (Greater Accra) - The Tema Police on Monday arrested a man carrying a human head, believed to be that of a girl, in a polythene bag.

Superintendent Beatrice Zakpaah Van Sansri, Community Two Police District Commander, told newsmen that one Michael Mensah, a self-employed electrician, reported at the police station that they had held up a man who was carrying a polythene bag containing something unusual with bad odour emanating from it.

She said two policemen were dispatched to the scene and when the man opened the bag it contained a human head. The man initially gave his name as Mahama Dagarti but later changed it to Dornonunu Kpazie Mahama and he is in custody. Meanwhile, a large crowd has converged at the police station demanding to lynch the suspect.
