Thief Beaten Mercilessly to Death for Allegedly Stealing a Bible at Dunkwa-Mfuom

In a tragic incident at Dunkwa-Mfuom, a suspected notorious thief met a grim fate when he was beaten to death by residents. The reason behind the brutal assault was his alleged theft of GH¢500 and a bible that belonged to the wife of an Adventist Pastor. The thief had entered the Pastor's house using a wooden object, but he left behind his phone, which ultimately led to his capture. The angry residents unleashed a severe beating upon him, causing profuse bleeding. Despite being rushed to the hospital, he couldn't survive the injuries sustained during the attack. His body has now been taken to the hospital morgue for preservation.

The Aboabo Estate, located in Mfuom within the Upper Denkyira West Municipality, has been grappling with a spate of burglary incidents in recent weeks. This unfortunate event serves as a warning to others contemplating such criminal acts. The residents expressed their frustration and exhaustion with the ongoing robberies. They emphasized their hard work to earn a living and lamented that individuals who refuse to work for themselves choose to steal from those who do.

It is clear that the community is determined to protect their livelihoods and maintain their safety. The tragic death of the thief should act as a deterrent to others who might consider robbing them. The residents are resolute in their stance, urging potential perpetrators to halt their criminal activities or face the consequences of their anger.
