    Lifeless body of woman found at Ekumfi beach

    On Wednesday, the body of a woman, believed to be in her early 30s, was discovered at Ekumfi Ekumpoano beach in the Ekumfi District of the Central Region.

    Disturbingly, certain parts of her body, such as her head, genitalia, and intestines, had been forcibly removed, indicating a gruesome act of violence.

    Residents suspect that she was murdered and dismembered by her attackers before her body was discarded into the sea.

    Although her identity was unclear due to her decomposing body, the locals think she might have been a student.

    Prior to the body being handled, the town’s elders offered libations and other sacrifices.

    The body was then taken to the mortuary for identification, preservation, and autopsy by police and NDO representatives.

    The public is being urged by the police and locals to assist in identifying the deceased person’s family.

  • Headteacher bitten by snake while easing himself on school farm

    The headteacher of the Ekumfi Egyakwaa Owuya D/A Basic School in the Ekumfi District of the Central Region was bitten by a snake while relaxing on the school farm next to a bush.

    The school doesn’t have a bathroom, so the headteacher, Mr. Luis Abban, opted to attend nature’s call in the jungle, according to information acquired by Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan. Unfortunately, he trod on a snake and was bitten.

    According to legend, a female student who was also taking a break in the jungle heard the headteacher shouting for help and hurried to help him only to discover that he had been bitten.

    She then hurriedly ran and informed the rest of the teachers who rushed to the school farm and picked him to the hospital for treatment.

    The victim is currently in stable condition.

    Meanwhile, it has emerged that this term, five pupils have been bitten by snakes, an issue which has become a great source of worry to the school management.

    The school which was established in 1961 has never had a toilet facility which makes both the teachers and the students always ease themselves in the bush always.

    “We always meet our teachers trooping out from either the school farm or bush where we all ease ourselves,” a pupil said.

    They are, therefore, appealing to the government, the Chief of the town, the District Chief Executive for Ekumfi District, and the Member of Parliament to support the school with a toilet facility in order to prevent further snake bites.
