Police On A Manhunt For Killers Of 50-Year-Old Woman At Dansame

The Central North Police Command has mounted a search for the killers of a 50-year-old woman, allegedly murdered on Monday at Dansame, near Assin-Bereku in the Assin North District.

The unknown killers allegedly cut the tongue and private parts of the deceased, identified as Esi Gegiw, for rituals.

A source claimed residents were living in fear, as the murder was the tenth in a series of ritual murders experienced recently in the area.

The police have called on the public to volunteer information leading to the arrest of the culprits to enable people to go about their normal businesses without fear.

According to sources, the deceased was a farmer and labourer working at an Oil Palm Processing factory at Dansame.

She was said to have left home around 0300 hours to work on that fateful day, but residents found her body on the outskirt of the community in the morning.

Preliminary investigations on the body suggested she was hit with a metal in the head, leading to her death.

The body has since been deposited at the Assin Fosu St. Francis Xavier hospital.
