Decomposed Body Found in Abandoned Building
A strong odour leads to the grim discovery, sparking a conversation on police resource shortages
- It took nearly five hours for police to arrive at the scene due to a lack of operational vehicles
- Residents were alerted to the decomposing body after a strong smell
- Locals are demanding improved resources and faster police response
A man, believed to be in his early 40s and identified locally as Justice, was discovered dead in an uncompleted building at Mill 11 in the Ga South Municipality.
The body, which appears to have been decomposing for several days, was found after residents noticed a strong odor coming from the site.
Alarmed, the locals alerted the Weija District Police, but it took nearly five hours for officers to reach the scene and retrieve the body. Sources within the police suggest the delay was due to a shortage of operational vehicles at the district office.
This delay has raised concerns among residents, who are calling for urgent improvements in police response times and resources to prevent future incidents.
The body has been sent to the morgue for investigation, and local authorities are under pressure to address these resource gaps in law enforcement.
