A man believed to be in his mid-50s was beheaded on Friday by a man suspected to be mentally challenged in the Tema Main Harbour Railways vicinity.
Ali, the suspected murderer, who the Ghana News Agency gathered is in his 30s, severed the head of the victim, a caretaker of a yard in the area, and went around carrying the head in a carrier bag.
He was subsequently apprehended and led police personnel from the Tema Regional Police Command to where the body was lying.
The body was later conveyed to the mortuary.
The circumstances leading to the incident are not readily known; however, squatters in the area have expressed shock at the incident.
Mr. Isaac Adjei, a resident, said Ali used to be among the men who carried cargo for trucks around the harbour, adding that for the past two and a half years, he had started acting insane.
