Man found dead near Police barrier at Buduburam

A man believed to be in his 50s has been found dead with multiple knife wounds and bruises near the Buduburam Police Barrier along Aprah Road in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region.

The body, which is yet to be identified, was discovered by residents who reportedly noticed injuries on various parts of the deceased’s body.

Preliminary observations suggest that the man may have been assaulted and killed elsewhere before his body was transported and abandoned by the roadside.

The Assemblyman for the Buduburam Electoral Area, Emmanuel Dogbe, told Adom News that the discovery had unsettled residents, with circumstances surrounding the incident raising suspicions of foul play.

The police have conveyed the body to the morgue for preservation as investigations continue to establish the circumstances surrounding the death and identify the deceased.

Residents say the incident is not the first of its kind in the area and have blamed the lack of streetlights for creating dark spots that could provide cover for criminal activities.

They believe improved street lighting would enhance visibility at night and help security personnel identify and apprehend perpetrators.
