The body of the victim was found shallowly buried in a nearby bush behind Napogbakole, a Suburb of Wa with his private part missing and the stomach cut open.
“When we got here, we saw a human tongue and eyes. We came to another area in an uncompleted building and saw a cooking stove (stones) calabash, cola nuts, some tree roots and water, and a bow’s arrows.
