A 17-year-old Junior High School pupil, Emmanuel Gyan, is in police custody for allegedly killing his own mother over his missing mobile phone memory card.
The incident happened in Sefwi-Wiawso District in Western region of Ghana.
Gyan is said to have hit his 52-year-old mother, Faustina Agyeiwaa, several times in the head with a pestle until she fell down, and thereafter he followed up with naked flames in attempts to burn her.
Sources said Gyan was arrested and brought to the station by his own father, Isaac Somuah, aged 58, assisted by one Stephen Amponsah.
Somuah and Amponsah told the police that Gyan had accused his mother of taking his memory card, which the mother denied.
They said Emmanuel became furious and started attacking the mother with a pestle by hitting her on the head several times until she died on the spot.
Her body has since been deposited at the Bibiani government hospital mortuary, awaiting an autopsy.
