University students sentenced to death for killing pastor
The Tamale High Court in the Northern region of Ghana has sentenced two students to death for killing a pastor in a robbery attack 10 months ago.
The regional state attorney Mr. Quddus Salia who led prosecution said the convicts; Dogyi Kwame and Obio Akwasi, are cousins, both aged 21-year-old students of Tamale Technical University.
They were arrested in November 2017 after they attacked and killed 65-year-old Ebenezer Ocran, head pastor of End Time Bible Believers Fellowship, Tamale, at his residence in Kumbuyili.
According to him, on 10th November 2017, the convicts forced themselves into the room of the deceased at about 12 noon and killed him by stabbing him in the chest with a knife and also fractured his skull with a pestle. They then stole a Toyota Highlander vehicle belonging to the deceased and fled.
