Police at Obuasi have arrested 21-year-old Emmanuel Adjei for killing a four-year-old boy at Boete in the Obuasi East District of the Ashanti Region.
The suspects claimed the deceased and his mother have been tormenting his life spiritually for some time now, hence his decision to end the life of the child to gain spiritual freedom.
