The assembly man of the area, Andrews Nkansah told Starrfmonline,
that he was on his way to school when he heard wailings from residents
and upon reaching the scene, he was met by a farmer who had witnessed
the mentally deranged man severed the head and two hands of the
70-year-old farmer and started chasing after the onlooker, who had run
towards the township to save his life.
“After the heinous crime, the culprit was seen roaming the town with the
head of the victim, it took the intervention of construction workers on
the Hohoe-Kenyasi road to apprehend the culprit who was later handed
over to the Hohoe Police,” Nkansah said.
Kadidze, married with five children, is said to have been battling a
mental condition for some time now, which has seen him in and out of
prayer camps.
