Images widely shared online showed many machete cuts around the head. A mobile phone and a wallet containing unspecified amount of money was also found, according to Assemblyman of the area, Samuel Yaw Kwae.
“I moved in with the police and some community members. We went there and found the body without a head… They [the police] said we should make a thorough search for the head and we did so and found it a few meters away from the body”, Kwae said.
Police also retrieved a white Toyota Vitz vehicle with registration number GE 3170 – 21, from the scene –which has a chain of uncompleted buildings with poor security.
