Recently, the disturbing details of the tragic murder of 7-year-old Spendylove Adjei have come to light, painting a gruesome picture of the event. The individuals implicated in this heart-wrenching crime are her own uncle, Augustine Afari, and a spiritualist named Osei Kofi.
Augustine Afari, a 22-year-old artisanal miner, allegedly sought quick wealth and turned to the spiritualist for advice on achieving this through illegal mining activities.
The spiritualist advised him to obtain a human head for a ritualistic purpose. In a horrifying turn of events, Afari reportedly took the life of his own niece in a brutal manner, using a machete to beat her to death before decapitating her.
The circumstances surrounding the incident are deeply tragic. The young girl’s father had entrusted her to Afari’s care while her grandmother tended to her crops. Upon the grandmother’s return, the child was missing, and Afari pretended not to know her whereabouts.
Despite the family’s frantic search, they were unable to find the girl. This prompted them to file a formal complaint with the police, leading to Afari’s arrest. He was later questioned and released on bail pending further investigation.
Eventually, Afari confessed to a pastor about his heinous act, who promptly alerted the police. Shockingly, it was revealed that Afari had buried the girl’s body without her head at an abandoned mining site.
In an unexpected twist, the spiritualist rejected the severed head sent to him by Afari, insisting that the ritual demanded the head to be presented on the same day as the murder. As a result, both Afari and the spiritualist were apprehended and charged with the serious offense of murder.
