In an after-court report monitored by YEN.com.gh on UTV, their reporter gave a description of how the deceased was killed.
According to him, Felix Nyarko sent for Ishmael to be called for him per instructions from Nicholas.
Upon his arrival, Felix Nyarko beckoned Ishmael to escort him to have a look at something in an uncompleted building where Nicholas was waiting.
The report further indicated that Nicholas asked Felix to excuse them(he and Ishmael).
When he left the room, Nicholas reportedly took a piece of block and hit it right on the head of the 10-year-old boy causing him to pass out with immediate effect and he hit him again for the second time.
According to the report, when the police questioned the boys, they mentioned that they needed some parts of the 10-year-old boy to take to the Volta Region for money rituals.
The 15-year-old Felix Nyarko has been instructed to be taken to the Juvenile court to be tried as Nicholas who happens to be much older would be tried at the Ofaakor District Magistrate Court.
The two, would, however, appear in their respective courts to have a hearing in a fortnight.
