A 40-year-old man has been lynched in Nyankpala in the Northern Region for allegedly stealing goats and sheep.
The deceased, Fatawu Alhassan, and two others were caught in the act.
The two, however, managed to escape while the deceased was caught in the process, attacked and killed by unknown persons.

At least seven suspects including two-people who led her lynching are in the grips of the police.
