The Ho Police have arrested two persons in connection with the lynching of a 54-year-old woman at Abutia-Kloe in the Ho District three weeks ago.
According to the Graphic, the suspect, Peace Afedo and Harrison Mensah, accused the deceased, Victoria Adafia Wudagli, of begin a witch and using her witchcraft to mastermind the May 9 Accra Stadium tragedy, which resulted in the death of 126 spectators.
Among the dead was Komla Tenyson, a nephew of the woman.
Six other suspects are on the run. They are Arku Kumah, Bright Botwe, George Kpe, yaw Ntifu, Ephraim Kpe and Prosper Wudagli.
The Volta Regional Police Crime Officer, Superintendent Joseph Adorkor-Bidzi, told the Graphic in an interview at Ho on Wednesday that the suspects alleged that the woman had a bitter quarrel with Komla shortly before he left for Accra to watch the soccer match.
After Komla's burial on June 4, Supt. Adokor-Bidzi said Peace Afedo ran to the house of the deceased, shouting at the top of her voice that she was possessed by the spirit of Komla, and that his death was caused by his aunt, Victoria, who pursued him to the Accra Stadium 'spiritually' to unleash vengeance on him.
