18-year-old lady is allegedly raped and murdered
The Ghana Police have initiated the investigation of an 18-year-old lady who was allegedly raped and murdered in the Ashanti region.
The sad event took place in Anwiankwanta a suburb of the Ashanti region. Per reports, the 18-year-old lady who has been raped and murdered was offered a ride in a car by some young men with the intention of taking her to her residence at Anwiankwanta after work.
However, she did not return home, so members of the community heard the news and started to look for her whereabouts.
After a few hours of search, tragically, her lifeless body was discovered close to her residence in an uncompleted building.
According to the reports from eyewitnesses, the lady was found in the uncompleted building partially unclothed, which made people suspect that she may have been sexually assaulted before her death.
The Ghana Police were informed after, and a swift inquiry has been launched into the mysteries to know and apprehend the persons behind the 18-year-old lady’s alleged raped and murder.
Speaking to Citi News which was monitored by Ghana Education News (Ghanaeducation.org) the Assembly member for the Awiankwanta electoral area, Frank Awuah disclosed that, the police were yet to make any official pronouncement since the investigations were still ongoing.
