A 40-year-old man has been found dead in an abandoned dam at Gomoa Fetteh in the Gomoa East District of the Central region.

Some residents who spoke to Adom News’ Kofi Adjei claim the man was found Tuesday morning in the river but suspects he was murdered somewhere and later dumped in the dam to hide the body from the public.

They added that a similar crime happened last two years when someone was also dropped in the dam after being killed.

“Someone actually killed him and came to drop him here. Last two years it was the same thing that happened. We are really living in fear. I think someone killed him somewhere and dropped him here. If he fell from the top he would no way land in the water because there is a platform in front before the edge of the water. He should have fallen there. It’s dangerous to walk around here. It is becoming rampant” one resident said.

They are therefore urging the government to cover the dam to prevent possible occurrence of such criminal activities.
