Pastor Kwame Kussi, 30, of the Warriors of Zion Prayer Camp at Asante Kwaku near Nsawam has been remanded into prison custody at Nsawam, for allegedly lashing Madam Esther Ayeley, 40, a farmer at Asante Kwaku to death.
Briefing the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at the Nsawam Police Station, Chief Inspector Redeemer Kumah said Pastor Kussi on Sunday, August 9, this year, testified during a deliverance service that the deceased and her two daughters were witches.
Inspector Kumah said the pastor with the help of some of the church members allegedly laid the woman and canned her till she collapsed and died the following day, in an uncompleted building near the church.
The Police Officer said pastor Kussi would be arraigned before the Nsawam Magistrate Court on August 21.
The body of the deceased has since been deposited at the Police Hospital in Accra for autopsy.
Inspector Kumah said the police are still investigating the case to enable them arrest the other members of the church, now at large, who assisted in canning the deceased.
