AFrom Joe Okyere, Cape Coast.
When Safia Salami decided to go to Mensakrom to collect GH¢25, being her son’s hospital expenses from her ex-husband, hardly did she know that she was embarking on “a journey of no return”.
The ex-husband, Paapa Yaw Agbenyo, 38, a farmer and a fetish priest, took offence after Safia had refused to take GH¢5 and butchered her.
The prosecutor, Vincent Nyinaka told the Cape Coast High Court (Two ), presided over by Justice Alhaji Mohammed Ahmed Mustapha Salami that Agbenyo and Safia were married for four years and had a son, Wisdom Agbenyo.
Safia, who stayed with her son at Akyem Akroso in the Eastern Region, travelled with him to Mensakrom on December 1, 2006 to collect the hospital expenses.
He said, when Safia did not return, a report was made to the police and investigations led to the arrest of Agbenyo.
He said Agbenyo admitted in his caution statement that he butchered Safia, cut off her head, legs and arms and buried them in one grave whilst the body was also buried in another.
Agbenyo said, Safia, after refusing to accept what he could provide, insulted him and hit him with a piece of fire wood during a quarrel.
He said that made him to pick a machete and slashed her on the neck which resulted in her instant death.
He said having killed her, he removed the heart, and cut her female organ to prevent Safia’s soul from hunting him.
Agbenyo, is in prison custody and will re-appear in court soon.
