Batman, also known as ‘Abodie’, a popular bodybuilder who allegedly took part in the lynching of Wyllbee, has been reported dead.

The funeral banner of the young man, a resident of Tanoso, where the musician was lynched to death, was spotted online amidst reactions on social media.

According to sources, Batman was said to have fled Tanoso to Anyinam shortly after the news of Wyllbee’s lynching went viral amidst the police’s arrest of the suspects involved.

Family sources further revealed that Batman had been battling diabetes for close to three years and fleeing to Anyinam did not allow him to gain access to proper medical care hence his demise.

Meanwhile, the case involving Wyllbee and his key murder suspect, Nana Yaa, has been adjourned to August 11, 2024.

Background:

Reports indicated that Wyllbee was killed in Abuakwa-Tanoso, Ashanti Region while staying overnight at Nana Yaa Nyarko’s residence, a property reportedly owned by her husband’s family abroad, who were unaware of Wyllbee’s presence.

According to initial accounts, on July 5, 2024, Wyllbee was seen urinating in the compound and was confronted by residents who suspected him of theft.

Wyllbee allegedly claimed he was visiting Nana Yaa, but she purportedly denied knowing him to protect her marriage from her in-laws.

This denial led to suspicion and accusations of theft among the neighbors, culminating in Wyllbee being lynched. Reports also mention that his phone was destroyed with a stone during the incident.
