A man who is believed to be in his 30s is in the grips of the Sekondi Police in the Western Region, for attempting to acquire human parts from a mortuary attendant in exchange for money.

The mortuary man (Christopher Dadzie) said the man who was in a Twin City Radio-branded yellow Lacoste approached him, last Friday morning around 10am at the Effia Nkwanta Morgue and requested for hair of a corpse and water that has been used to bath a corpse in exchange of any amount.

Western Regional Police Commander, DCOP Isaac Alex Quainoo who disclosed this to Atinka News said, the mortuary man who was very surprised feigned interest and alerted the mortuary supervisor who arrested the suspect and handed him over to the Sekondi Police.

DCOP Quainoo said the suspect in his caution statement admitted to the offence but claimed it was a spiritualist whom he mentioned as an Alhaji who sent him.
