Man Beheads Son, Commits Suicide

A 34-year-old man has beheaded his three-year-old son and hanged himself at Ablekuma Pentagon in Accra.

The deceased, Philip Dzakpasu according to reports, slit the throat his son, Kelvin Mawuli Dzakpasu in his sleep on Tuesday.

The cause of his heinous crime according to his land lady in an interview with Adom News’ Araba Aggrey may be linked to his constant fight with his estrange wife.

She indicated that the late Philip Dzakpasu always fought with his wife so the lady has moved out leaving him with their three-year-old son.

The morning after he killed himself, the land lady said she went to knock on his door for water but no one answered so she was alarmed and called for help.

They forced his door open only to discover the body of the boy covered in blood and Philip hanged in the room.

His close friend also told Araba the deceased had planned to kill his wife for giving him problems on earth and also kill himself so that they would be reunited in the next world.

The bodies have been conveyed to the morgue pending police investigations.
