Ghanian footballer in Italy apprehended after killing his mother and sister Follow @Hitbizafrika

Solomon Nyantakyi, a Ghanaian footballer, was arrested by police in Italy on Wednesday morning for the double murder of his mother and sister. The former Parma midfielder stabbed his mother and sister multiple times on Tuesday afternoon in the family home in Via San Leonardo in the city of Parma.

He was arrested by police early the following day in Central Station, Milan as he stepped off the train from Parma. Following hours of interrogation by the cops, the footballer confessed that he's responsible for the double murder carried out in the home where the whole family (mother, father, two sons and daughter) live.

Solomon's father was in London on official duty when the crime was committed. Both bodies were discovered by the 25 year-old son, Raymond, when he returned home after his shift with an engineering company. At the moment, a firm case is being prepared against the suspect by a prosecutor.
