The Mankessim District Magistrate court has remanded three accused persons, Isaac Osei, 25, John Amissah, 39, and Samuel Ampah,54, into prison custody for a month for allegedly lynching a neighbor suspected to be a plantain thief at Mankessim Krofu in the Central Region.

The incident which took place on Saturday, May 7, occurred at a bush near the Mankessim Health Center. The deceased was identified as Caleb Ocran, a resident at Mankessim Krofu.

The deceased was tied to a palm tree and stoned to death by the suspects. He was among a gang of four who were alleged to have been stealing goats and farm produce in the community.

During the last robbery operation, three members of the gang managed to escape when being pursued by the suspects.

Luck was not Caleb Ocran who met his untimely death. Police, however, fetched one of the suspects’ phones from the crime scene. upon switching on the phone, the suspects called claiming ownership of it.

An agreed location was arranged to collect it. A team of community police and uniformed officers were deployed to effect arrest on Wednesday, May 25, when the suspects show up to collect their missing phone.

Upon much questioning from the police, the suspects confessed to having committed the crime, hinting that the deceased and his colleagues once stole their goat but attempt to catch them were not successful.

They further told the Mankessim police that they had the opportunity to catch the deceased during their failed robbery mission. They were forced to lynch him and put plantain at the scene to mislead the public.

Her Lordship Bernice Mawusi who was presiding of the court refused to admit to the plea of the trio and remanded them in police custody to reappear on July 1, 2022
