A fisher man called Foday that dwels and fish in the Torkeh axis was captured yesterday by the community people in Torkeh village at the eastern part of Freetown for allegedly stabbing a child twice on the chest.
Foday Is said to have been paid by an unknown person to capture and slaughter the child for ritual purposes. According to a source in Torkeh village, the accused lured the child to a disserted place to catch the child and completes his mission without him being caught. The source in Torkeh village continued that the accused succeeded in capturing the child and he forcefully stabbed the child twice.
She furthered that, passers by immediately captured him when they saw him stab the child for the second time and took away his weapon before he could harm them. She said, the accused was then dragged to the village square receiving punches, kicks and strokes from different objects thrown at him in the process. She added that the child captured and stabbed is his neighbor’s child.
According to the pictures we can see that he was beaten mercilessly and blood was oozing from his head. The accused might have been beaten to the point of been burnt, as we can see on the pictures, he is lying on the floor helplessly and on the other part of the picture, he is put to sit down with a tire been hanged over his body.
This is a very alarming situation in Sierra Leone, we have seen similar cases of kidnapping and attempted murder over the past months, but not much have been done to tackle these atrocities.
Therefore, parents be more vigilant and instruct your children to be very careful with the people that approaches them even if is someone they know. This is the era to trust no one, as we can see in this case the accused attempted to slaughter his neighbor’s child for money.
