A 7-year-old girl has been found dead in a container at Atadeka, a suburb in the Kpong-Katamanso district in the Greater Accra Region.
Ruth Ankomah was last seen alive on Sunday morning but her body was found in the container around midnight.
The police officers of the Tema Police Divisional Command have taken her body into a medical facility for autopsy.
The deceased mother told Citi News that Ruth had left the house to buy bread for breakfast but did not return.
“Her sister went out to look for her. I later joined the search for my daughter but we were unsuccessful. We went to the police station and on our return we were told that a body of a dead girl was found in a container close to our house. We suspect she was killed and dumped into the container,” she said.
Police PRO of the Tema Divisional Command, ASP Juliana Obeng confirmed the incident to Citi News but added that investigations are still ongoing.
