Ghana: woman found dead in a bush

A middle-aged market woman was discovered dead in a bush by the roadside at Kumasi Anwomaso-High Tension, in the Oforikrom Municipality of the Ashanti Region, Ghana.

“The woman, a food vendor turned gari seller, was well-known in the area,” reports said.

Her daily routine involved visiting her daughter, who operates a pharmacy, after closing from the market.

Despite several attempts to reach her via phone, there was no response.

Residents made the grim discovery of her lifeless body in the bush by the roadside and the incident was promptly reported to the Oduom Police Station.

Upon arriving at the scene, the police found her phone, GHS800 in cash, and some market-related items.

Notably, there were no visible signs of assault or injury on the body.

The woman’s body has been taken to the Emena Hospital mortuary for an autopsy as police continue their investigation into the circumstances surrounding her death.
