Two children, aged six and four, have been found dead in an abandoned vehicle at Wasa Akoreso in the Wasa Saa electoral area in the Western Region.
The two, who were cousins, reportedly got trapped in the vehicle when they went in to play on Saturday, January 20, 2024.
According to the Assembly Member of the area, Akwasi Oduro, their parents had gone in search of them because they did not return home after they had gone out to play.
He said after searching the area, they discovered the lifeless bodies of the two in the abandoned vehicle.
The Assembly Member said they suspected the children tried to get out of the car but could not.
He added that the car had been abandoned in front of a local church for some time now because it was damaged.
The police, he added, were informed, and a preliminary investigation into the matter has revealed that the children died as a result of a convulsion.
The children have since been buried.
