Residents of Trom Dominion City, a developing community within the Adweso Town Electoral Area in the New Juaben South Municipality of the Eastern Region, were left in shock on Sunday morning after the lifeless body of a middle-aged man was discovered near residential homes.
The deceased has been identified by relatives as Isaac Amanor, a fashion designer who operated a tailoring shop near the Koforidua Sports Stadium.
Preliminary information suggests Mr. Amanor may have been killed by unknown assailants before his body was allegedly dumped at Dominion City. However, the exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear, and investigations are ongoing.
According to residents, the body was found in the early hours of Sunday. The deceased, believed to be in his late 40s, was wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.
The incident has heightened concerns about security in the community, with residents calling for an increased police presence to help prevent crime.
Some residents also criticised what they described as a delayed police response, alleging that although the incident was reported shortly after the body was discovered, officers did not arrive promptly to retrieve the body and commence investigations.
They said the delay heightened anxiety in the community as residents and onlookers gathered at the scene awaiting the arrival of the police.
The Assembly Member for the Adweso Town Electoral Area, Samuel Atta Amo, described the incident as disturbing and called for urgent measures to strengthen security in the rapidly developing community.
Police are expected to conduct further investigations to establish the cause of death and identify those responsible.
