However, at about 4:00am, Norteye felt a sharp pain on his neck. He woke
only to see the suspect, Ayitey holding a knife and cutting his throat.
He then struggled with suspect, which resulted in multiple cuts in the
victim’s palm and abdomen but he was eventually able to escape with the
knife and was rushed to his aunt’s house where he was taken to the Tema
Newtown Police Station to lodge an official complaint. He was then taken
to the Tema General Hospital where he was treated and discharged.
Further investigations in the room of the suspect revealed a stinking
beheaded snake, egg shells, and powder, which were sprinkled around the
room. A wooden doll was also found in the room as well. When suspect was
asked on how he came by those items and why he had sprinkled powder in
his room, he said the snake was for a friend who was going to eat it but
suspect pleaded with his friend to give it to him.
He was however unable to tell the police what he was going to use the
snake and other materials for. Zaga however claimed ownership of the
knife, which was retrieved and stated that he did not know what took
over him to try to kill his friend. He is currently assisting the police
with investigations and will be arraigned before court soon.
