It is when the guy left her until he saw her pictures circulating on social media that she is missing .

He contacted the victim’s family which led to the arrest of the pastor.

Through interrogations by the police, the pastor confessed that he indeed picked up the victim with a car from Ankaful to Mankessim and that is where they both committed the heinous act.

According to him, he took the victim to the chief’s palace and that is where he and the chief locked her up in one of the rooms, ceased her phone and hit her with a stick until she died.

He added that, they buried her body in one of the chief’s room and casted concrete on the grave.

According to reports, they intended to use the victim for rituals.

“According to residents, he (main suspect) always visits the chief almost every weekend. No one knows what they always talk about,” the journalists narrated to Asempa fm.
