A 71-year-old father, identified as Efo Kwasi Joseph has chopped off two fingers of his 11-month-old biological son with a carpenter’s saw at Kasoa Millennium City in the Central Region.
The incident is reported to have happened in the afternoon of Tuesday, 14th March 2023.
Narrating the circumstances to the media, the wife of the suspect, Juliana Amenasor, said she was shocked to see her baby boy lose his fingers after her husband who is a carpenter took the child to his workshop and cut his fingers.
Information gathered indicates that the suspect had always threatened to use his son for money rituals and warned that he’ll cut the baby’s fingers but his wife always rebuked him.
Juliana disclosed that the child is in serious pain and can’t stop crying.
She added that she needs money for surgery and to buy medications prescribed by doctors, hence calling on the public for financial support.
The mother has appealed to the Inspector General of police to intervene and prosecute the husband to serve as a deterrent to others.
Meanwhile, the Millennium City police are looking into the case.
The suspect had not been arrested at the time of filing the report.
