It is reported that one person has been arrested in addition to the parents of a 6-month-old baby who was found dead in a poly tank at Nkurakan in the Yilo Krobo municipality of the Eastern region.
The baby got missing on Saturday, May 6, 2023, but was found drowned in Polytank erected about 8 feet tall above ground level the next day Sunday afternoon.
The mother is said to have left the now-deceased baby in the custody of other children to fetch water. But upon return, the children told her a man came around and picked up the baby.
A frantic search for the baby proved futile on the fateful Saturday.
Eventually, after a thorough search by some residents around the Nkurakan Airport area, the lifeless body of the baby was found in a poly tank that was filled with water at the construction site.
A ladder was used to climb the Polytank to get inside to retrieve the body of the baby.
The body has been deposited at the morgue of Eastern Regional Hospital by Police to aid the investigation.
