The lifeless body of 15-year-old Kenneth Ampofo, who was laid to rest just last Friday, has been exhumed by unknown perpetrators at the Assin Akropong cemetery in the Assin Fosu Municipality of the Central Region.
This shocking incident has left the Assin Akropong community stunned, as such a case is unprecedented in the area’s history.
According to information gathered by Adom News, Kenneth passed away following a brief illness and was buried successfully. However, sources reveal that the perpetrators allegedly slit the deceased’s abdomen, removed his intestines, and created an incision in the kidney area. Further injuries were found around the genital region and the heart, indicating a deliberate and gruesome act.
Local authorities, including traditional leaders and the police, have launched a thorough investigation into the case, examining all possible motives, including the possibility of ritualistic practices.
Traditional leaders have performed libation rituals, appealing to the gods to help identify those responsible, while urging the community to remain calm and cooperate with the investigation.
The Assin Fosu District Police Command has also officially opened an investigation and is calling on community members to report any suspicious activities that could aid in solving the case.
