The Volta Regional Police Command has apprehended three persons who made attempts to sell a dead body to a fetish priest.
The suspects, Kalefe Korku, 42, Afedo Kpotor, 21, and Ametoke Sitsofe, 27, are allegedly the killers of the 30-year man identified as Albert Anyinado.
According to information gathered, the three suspects contacted a fetish priest at Agbozume that they had a dead body that they wanted to sell.
After a discussion with the fetish priest, they asked him for his help to find a buyer for the dead body.
The Police after being informed of the plan of the suspects, set up a plot to catch the three men and arranged for a fake buyer to deal with them.
In a deal that the fake buyer of the Police offered to pay GHS7,000 for the dead body, the suspects agreed and planned a meet at Agavedzi near the lagoon to receive the dead body.
