Residents of Mangu, a suburb of Wa the capital of the Upper west region on Monday morning woke up to a gory situation when the body of a missing 5-year old child in the area was found dead in a septic tank of an uncompleted building.<\/p>\n
The 5-year, Yaw Rufeda Tuurosung, last Thursday evening reportedly went out to play with her peers at about 3:30pm but did not return.<\/p>\n
Her Father, Yaw Asani and a search team from the Mangu community went looking for her but were unsuccessful in their search and reported the matter to the Wa Municipal Police with hope of getting her.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”bGOCo03lqUGCXfspTj6wpVYy53w14IFt”]However, at about 5:50 on\u00a0Monday morning, some neighbors woke up to a fowl scent emanating from the uncompleted building.<\/p>\n
Suspicious about the cause of the smell, an alarm was raised.<\/p>\n
A search was conducted leading to the discovery of the lifeless body of little Rufeda who was wrapped in a bag inside the septic tank.<\/p>\n
Mr. Asani Yaw, in an interview with Citi News expressed worry over the incident and suspected that his daughter was killed for ritual purposes.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy daughter couldn\u2019t have entered by herself.\u00a0Those who killed her came and dump her here so that people will not see,\u201d he said in tears.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile personnel of the Ghana Police Service came to retrieve the almost decomposed body for examination.<\/p>\n
ASP Joy Afagbadze, Upper West Police Public Relations Officer said \u201ccircumstantially, suspect foul play. This is a place that has been walled and one does not need to be told that the girl has been murdered\u201d.<\/p>\n
He promised that his men will do everything possible to apprehend the perpetrators.<\/p>\n
