The suspect in the Abesim killings has explained how he learned to kill human beings and how he came to do so. According to Richard Appiah, he began with killing dogs before progressing to the killing of humans.
According to reports, he told investigators about his involvement. A black dog was killed and eaten by him. He claimed that something compelled him to kill the dog and eat the dog’s head after it was killed.
According to the reports, there is evidence to suggest that he actually killed a black dog first before turning his attention to the individuals he murdered.
One week after murdering the dog, “he told interrogators that the so-called’something’ had urged him again to kill human beings, which is exactly what he did,”.
On August 22, 2021, news spread quickly around the community about Richard Appiah, a prominent player and sports pundit in the Sunyani Municipality, who was accused of killing and slicing off the head of a youth in the neighborhood.
The victims have been identified as Louis Agyemang, who is thought to be a family member of the suspect, and Stephen Sarpong, a 15 years old boy.
Mr Thomas Agyei, the father of one of the murdered victims, confirmed the news to Sunyani-based Sky FM, explaining that his son was a professional footballer. His son, 13-year-old Louis Agyemang Junior, was allegedly enticed inside his room by the killer from a football pitch in Sunyani Abesim before being murdered by him.
The child, who happens to be a twin, had gone to the park to do some football training. Efforts to locate the small youngster were unsuccessful in the evening. One of his friends, Tweneboa, called his parents to tell them that they had seen him in the company of “Fire Man,” a sports broadcaster and former professional player.
When they confronted him, he categorically denied ever seeing the youngster. Because Tweneboa stated that the two had been spotted walking together in the afternoon, the parents were a little suspicious of what had happened.
One of Richard’s doors was reportedly closed during a visit to his home, according to news sources. When questioned, he admitted that the keys to the room had gone missing during the interrogation.
The men pounced on “Fire Man” and beat him up before handing him over to the Sunyani Abesim Police Department for further investigation after discovering he was the killer
A police search turned up human body parts in a sack, which was later disposed of. He kept three human heads in his refrigerator, one of which was that of Louis Agyemang. He was also turned over to the Bono Regional Police Command for additional investigation by the Abesim Police Department.
The police had stated to the court during the previous court session that they were awaiting the findings of an autopsy conducted on the lifeless remains of the two youngsters who had been discovered in the room of the accused person before proceeding.
Inspector Lawrence Anane informed the court that once the autopsy report is received, the investigation would be completed and a duplicate docket would be forwarded to the Office of The Attorney General for consultation.
