A body of a man believed to be in his forties has been found with his throat slashed at Race Course, a busy market place and bus terminal in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.

The body which is yet to be identified was found in near River Subin. Some traders are attributing the occurrence to ritual killing because some parts of the body were removed.
