Narrating how the incident took place, the suspect said: “I don’t know the guy before, he ran into my shop and said he was looking for someone who collected his charger, I told him that such a person was not in my shop. Out of anger, he took a bottle and started fighting me and I fought back.

“I used the petrol I sell and poured on him, honestly I didn’t know what I was doing until he started burning and people gathered, we were trying to put out the fire but it was already late because when they took him to hospital, he died there.”

Also, the Commissioner said the command had arrested one Joseph Friday for killing his father with claims that his father hypnotized him.

He said the suspect beat his father to death and dragged his lifeless body to the road.

The Commissioner said the mother of the suspect reported the matter to the police division in Etinan where the operatives arrested the suspect.

Meanwhile, the suspect, 25, had confessed to the crime, saying that his father usually appeared to him in the dream and bewitched him.

He explained that whenever such happened, something like a tortoise would enter his body and he would immediately become mentally deranged.

He said that he hit his father with his hands and he died.

The Commissioner, who frowned at the crimes, noted that the suspects would be charged to court at the end of investigations
