A Ghanaian footballer in Italy, Solomon Nyantakyi, has been arrested by authorities on suspicion of killing his mum and sister.
Nyantakyi was involved in a high speed chase with police early Wednesday, which eventually ended after his arrest.
His mother, 45 year old Patience Nfum, and his 11 year old sister, Magdalene Nyantakyi, were found stabbed to death in their home Tuesday.
The two were stabbed brutally to death in their house in Via San Leonardo, which is a multicultural neighbourhood on the outskirts of Parma where many Ghanaians in Italy stay.
Solomon has been identified as the main suspect by police, who are worried about his ties to dangerous gangs in the area.
21 year old Solomon is a former player of Parma, where he excelled at before the club went bankrupt.
