A suspected armed robber has been burned to death by unidentified individuals in Ashaiman Katamanso, located in the Greater Accra Region. The incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, December 12, after the suspect allegedly stole a standing fan and a flat-screen television.
A local resident, identified as Vifa, reported that the suspected thief had broken into a home between 1:00 a.m. and 2:00 a.m. while the occupants were not present. The stolen items were later found near the charred remains of the suspect.
While the identity of those responsible for the act remains unclear, many residents believe the brutal incident is a result of increasing frustration in the community over frequent thefts in the area.
The body of the suspect has been transported to the morgue, and investigations are currently underway to determine who carried out the killing.
