Chief Inspector Isaac Asiedu Odei, the lead investigator in the gruesome ritual murder case involving two teenagers at Kasoa, has shared chilling accounts of how a 10-year-old boy, Ishmael Mensah Abdalla, was buried alive by his friends. The incident sent shockwaves throughout Ghana and beyond.

In his testimony as the Sixth Prosecution’s Witness during the ongoing trial, Inspector Odei unveiled the harrowing details of the heinous crime. He explained that his investigation had uncovered that the accused individuals had buried the victim, Ishmael Mensah Abdalla, while he was still alive. The accused include a 15-year-old juvenile and an 18-year-old young offender, whose names have been withheld.

The 15-year-old had admitted his involvement in the crime during his plea-taking. However, the court entered a not guilty plea for him, as per legal requirements for the jury to determine the matter upon full trial. The 18-year-old had consistently denied the charges of conspiracy to commit and murder.

Inspector Odei testified that, when the case was handed over to him on April 9, 2021, he took over from Detective Chief Inspector Japheth Agyemang of the Kasoa Divisional CID. He emphasized the gruesome nature of the crime, explaining that the accused confessed to him about the murder of Ishmael Mensah Abdalla.

The investigator detailed how the accused had committed the crime and used a wooden handle of a pickaxe, a cement block, a spade, and a shovel. The cement block was shattered during the attack, and the broken pieces were also used to inflict further harm on the victim.

Moreover, the accused revealed that they buried the victim while he was still alive, adding to the horrifying details of the case. The Investigator disclosed that the young offender’s 18-year-old’s confession raised questions about why he had not confessed earlier, sparking a confrontation between the two accused during their interrogation.

He also mentioned that the 15-year-old had claimed that they had been in constant communication with each other before the crime took place but couldn’t provide the contact number of the 18-year-old. The 18-year-old, on the other hand, stated that he had been using a phone belonging to a friend named Wiadom Dzila from a local school, but it was later discovered that no one by that name existed at the school.

The court received various exhibits during the proceedings, including the handle of the pickaxe, the spade, shovel, cement blocks, and sand soaked with blood. The trial continues, with more revelations expected as the investigation unfolds.
