Unidentified Man Murdered and Burnt at Nyanyano

An unidentified person has been murdered and burnt at Gomoa Nyanyano in the Central Region.

Residents of Fiifi, a suburb of Gomoa Nyanyano were gripped with fear over the murder of the unidentified man who was suspected to have had his life cut short due to robbery.

The residents only woke up to discover the charred remains of the victim.

Speaking to the Media, a resident and some other eyewitnesses recounted that, even though they had seen a burning flame at around 10 PM on Sunday night but they thought it was someone burning refuse.

According to them, they did not hear any unusual noise and could therefore not suspect such an incident occurring.

However, they woke up on Monday morning only to witness the body charred beyond recognition.

The residents have on numerous occasions called on the police to intensify patrols within the area in order to curtail rampant theft in the area yet nothing seems to be done about it.

They have also called on authorities to provide streetlights in order to improve illumination during the night.

Assemblymember for the Nyanyano Upper electoral area, Joshua Mmereye, has described the area as a crime-prone zone. 

According to him, police patrols within the area is not regular due to logistical constraints.

He has thus, called on the Assembly to assist the police in that regard so that patrols can be intensified. 

He has also called on the Gomoa East District Assembly to assist the community with streetlights.

The Central East Regional Police command has since deployed a team of police officers to convey the body as investigations are set to commence.
