A young man has been found dead near a known ‘wee’ base at Berekum-Amangoase in the Bono Region.
The deceased, yet to be identified, was discovered with multiple cuts and bloodstains on his body. He was also found naked, with only a polythene bag covering his private parts, and stones scattered around him.
Speaking to Adom News, some residents speculated that he was a thief who had been lynched after a failed robbery attempt. They also raised concerns over the rising crime rate in the area.
The Assemblyman for the Amangoase Electoral Area, who corroborated the concerns of residents, described the situation as troubling. However, he noted that he could not confirm whether the deceased was indeed lynched.
The police have since deposited the body at the morgue as investigations continue.
