The Awutu Bereku District Police Command is investigating the alleged ritual killing of a three-week-old baby.

A young man identified as Bright has been apprehended in the cause of the investigations and stands accused of killing his child.

Several reports have indicated that the 21-year-old man killed his newborn baby for suspected money rituals at Fetteh Kakraba in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The incident is said to have happened on Monday night when he visited the mother of his baby.

According to reports, the child’s mother left the baby with the suspect to run an errand.
