Suspected thief beaten to death in Tafo

A suspected thief in the Ashanti Region’s Tafo Four Miles was brutally beaten to death by locals.

According to reports, the deceased was a part of a group of robbers who rushed the area to steal. Unfortunately, an enraged mob that was after the gang caught him.

A committee member, Brother Emmanuel, corroborated the account by saying that locals had heard screams of robbers being pursued.

He asserted that the victim passed away shortly after being attacked by an enraged mob.

He claimed that when he got to the scene, the deceased’s body was draped in plantain leaves.

He asserted that the incensed mob was unable to reveal the precise items that the young man and the escaped gang stole.

Residents claimed they heard screams of robbers being followed, but authorities were unable to tell what the young man and his companions stole. Three of them were able to escape, but the victim of the attack had bad luck. He was severely beaten. When I was informed that he was dead, he wasn’t, but by the time I got there, he was already gone.

He acknowledged that there was a lot of theft in the neighborhood when asked.

“Just this morning, when the incident occurred, a resident who was attending to nature’s call returned to find her room broken into and a young man with her television and decoder,” he claimed.

Before she could respond, the alleged thief threw her aside and took off, the witness said.
