A man named Joseph Ankomah, also known as “Uncle J,” was reportedly killed by a mob in Adum-Dominase, a small community in the Mpohor Fiase District, on December 19, 2024.
The mob attacked him after he was accused of being involved in ritual murders.
The incident followed the disappearance of Diana Asante, a 22-year-old mobile money vendor, on December 17, 2024. Her body was discovered three days later in a tunnel near the town hall, wrapped in a bedspread.
The community, upon recognizing the bedspread, traced it to Joseph, who worked as both a mortician and food vendor.
Upon searching his home, the mob allegedly found bloodstains and clothes soaked in blood, which led to their violent assault on Joseph. During the attack, Joseph confessed to killing Diana and admitted to other murders.
He also claimed that two influential people in the district had hired him for ritual killings in exchange for money.
Before the police could arrive, the mob set Joseph on fire, resulting in his death.
The police later retrieved his body and sent it to the morgue.
The police, led by Chief Superintendent William Gyamfi of the Mpohor District, have confirmed the incident but have not shared any further details about the investigation or possible arrests. The authorities are now looking into both the lynching and the ritual murder claims.
Kensington Palace didn’t give more details on why he couldn’t go, but they did share that Kate Middleton is recovering well after having surgery on her stomach.
The Princess of Wales went to the hospital for a planned surgery on January 16th.
She will not be back to work until after Easter, and her husband is taking a break from his royal duties to take care of her and their kids.
The Prince of Wales was supposed to read at a ceremony for the late King Constantine of Greece at Windsor Castle this morning.
The royal family had a tough start to 2024. King Charles got cancer and Kate Middleton had surgery.
Constantine was the son of Prince Philip’s first cousin and they used to sail together. He died when he was 82 years old in January of last year after being removed from power in a military takeover many years ago.
His oldest son, Crown Prince Pavlos, will read in place of William.
Prince Andrew walked with some members of his family, like his ex-wife Sarah, Duchess of York, Princess Beatrice, and Zara and Mike Tindall, into the chapel.
Queen Camilla was the last person from the British royal family to come. She was driven from the castle to the chapel that was built in the 15th century.
King Charles has cancer, but the type of cancer has not been told to everyone. He has been getting treatment for it regularly.
He found out he was sick after having surgery at the London Clinic. Kate had her surgery there too. He had a problem with his prostate.
Cancer was found early, so he’s making plans for who will take over his responsibilities and wants Prince William to be involved.
This is a new story that is still being updated. More information will be available soon, so check back later for updates.
Ahead of the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing, King Charles III is giving Prince William command of the British Army battalion where his brother Prince Harry formerly served.
William will now serve as colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, the British Army’s combat aviation division, according to a statement released by Buckingham Palace on Friday. Harry served in this division as a helicopter pilot in Afghanistan.
“The new appointments will continue to reflect the close relationship between the Armed Forces and the Royal Family in His Majesty’s reign,” the statement read.
Kate Middleton, the wife of William, was granted three new roles, one of which is the commodore-in-chief of the Fleet Air Arm.
This particular designation was formerly held by Prince Andrew, who was stripped of the position amidst allegations in a civil sexual assault case. Reportedly, he settled the case by paying millions of dollars.
Another title that was previously associated with Andrew has been bestowed upon Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, the wife of Prince Edward. She is now the colonel-in-chief of the Royal Irish Regiment.
It’s worth noting that the reshuffling did not reinstate any of Andrew’s prior military titles.
Prince William, who once served as a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force (RAF), has been appointed as colonel-in-chief of the Mercian Regiment, an infantry regiment within the British Army. Additionally, he has been made the royal honorary air commodore of RAF Valley, a military installation situated on the island of Anglesey off the coast of Wales. During his three-year tenure at RAF Valley until 2013, William reportedly participated in 156 rescue operations, resulting in the saving of 149 lives.
William’s appointment to lead the Army Air Corps and specifically, Harry’s former unit within it—662 Squadron—might raise some eyebrows in the United Kingdom. According to Joe Little, the managing editor of Majesty Magazine, it’s quite plausible that Harry himself could have been considered for the role had he not stepped back from his role as a working royal. Little stated to the Daily Mirror that “if Harry had remained in the picture, he might have secured additional appointments.”
Earlier this year, the Duke of Sussex garnered attention from certain sectors of the British military establishment when he disclosed in his memoir his involvement in eliminating 25 Taliban members during his time in Afghanistan with the 662 Squadron. In the book, he described them as “chess pieces removed from the board” and mentioned that he neither derived satisfaction from the tally nor felt ashamed by it.
King Charles, who also serves as the head of the British armed forces due to his role as the sovereign, is set to acquire eight new military affiliations. Buckingham Palace’s statement highlighted that “His Majesty is a military veteran himself, having trained and served in both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.”
These shifts within the military framework coincide with the upcoming first anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s passing next month. Reports in the UK media have suggested that William and Kate will assume prominent roles in the commemorations. A source within the Waleses’ office confirmed to The Daily Beast that there is likely to be some form of acknowledgment of the anniversary, although precise details have yet to be finalized.
