A 74-year-old man, identified as Kwabeesman, has been found dead in a river at Kronom-Kyerease in the Afigya Kwabre South District of the Ashanti Region.
The deceased, according to residents, was seen floating on a river in the area on Monday, December 25, 2023.
Information gathered indicates that Kwabeesman went swimming on Saturday, December 23 and was found dead in the same river two days later.
Confirming the incident, the assembly member of the area, Elvis Nyantakyi, disclosed that residents discovered the lifeless body of the man on Monday around noon.
He revealed that they notified police in the area where they retrieved the body and deposited it at a morgue.
Meanwhile, some residents suspect foul play, claiming that the river was not deep enough to get Kwabeesman drowned.
They have therefore called on security agencies to investigate the death and find out what might have killed the man.
