Two suspects found in possession of human parts were last Thursday remanded in prison custody by the Kadjebi District Magistrate’s Court in the Volta Region presided over by Mr Stanilaus Amaniepo.
Reuben Kofi Angmor, 63, and Togbe Goka, 67, pleaded not guilty and are to re-appear before the court on April 23.
Prosecuting, Inspector Lawrence Awuku of the Kadjebi Police said the two confessed that the parts were to be used for curative purposes.
According to the prosecutor, Angmor, from Krobo-Odumase in the Eastern Region, who was suffering from the Parkinson’s disease, was introduced by one John to Goka, a herbalist at Dodi Aboabo, for treatment.
Inspector Awuku said Goka requested for a dove to commence treatment but later Angmor requested the herbalist to perform some other rituals again for him to become rich in addition to the treatment.
To this request, Inspector Awuku said Angmor stated that Goka asked for human parts, which he could not provide. However, he said, Goka assured him of getting some for him through "Maame Water" from India, from whom he gets his powers.
Consequently, on March 14, 2009, when Angmor came to Dodi Amanfrom in the Kadjebi District to ascertain whether Goka had got the parts from India, the people around became suspicious of the clandestine moves of the two and arrested them, and together with a travelling bag they were holding they were handed over to the Dodi-Papase Police.
Inspector Awuku said when the bag was opened it was found to contain human skulls and dried bones.
During interrogation, Angmor claimed that the contents, to be used for ritual purposes, belonged to Goka whilst Goka also said the bag was brought to him by Angmor from Accra.
