The lifeless body of a 40-year-old man been discovered along the banks of the Densu River in Torgah Kophe, a suburban area nestled within Domeabra, situated in the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
This unsettling incident was brought to light by Joseph Akrasi, a unit committee member representing the locality.
According to Akrasi, the unfortunate discovery occurred late on a Thursday, with the man’s body having been washed ashore, sparking concerns among the local residents.
Expressing his distress, Akrasi conveyed the challenging nature of the situation, particularly in the identification of the deceased. Complicating matters further, he expressed suspicions of foul play surrounding the circumstances leading to the man’s tragic fate.
To seek assistance and report the incident officially, the concerned residents approached the Denkyira Police Station. Law enforcement responded to the call, arriving at the scene to secure the body, placing it in a bag for preservation.
However, Akrasi revealed a significant hindrance in the transportation of the deceased to the morgue, citing the unavailability of a police vehicle for the task.
Amidst this grim situation, the identity of the deceased remains obscured, as the face remains submerged in the water, adding an extra layer of complexity to the investigation.
Preliminary assessments suggest that the individual was approximately forty years old, further intensifying the mystery surrounding the circumstances of this unfortunate incident.
The community, grappling with shock and sorrow, awaits further developments in the efforts to unravel the details behind this somber discovery along the banks of the Densu River.
