Nana Ama Clark
The Central Regional Police have begun investigations into circumstances leading to the murder of a level 300 student of the Cape Coast Technical University (CCTU).
The victim, Nana Ama Clark, was believed to have been killed, as the police found her body in a pool of blood without her private part.
The police say they had information around 9:00pm on Friday that a female adult was lying dead by the roadside at OLA Estate, near the OLA College of Education in Cape Coast.
According to the police, they proceeded to the scene and found the body of an unknown person aged about 24 years, lying naked with her private part (vagina) cut off and bruises on the body.
The incident has shocked residents of the area, who demanded justice for the victim.
The residents discounted earlier suggestions that it could have been a hit-and-run driver who knocked the 24-year-old to death.
The residents claim that the circumstantial evidence does not corroborate an accident, but a carefully orchestrated scheme.
They are also calling on the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly to fix the street lights that have malfunctioned in the area.
The entire OLA-Bakaano stretch, where the incident took place, is in total darkness, and residents believe the darkness that envelopes the area at night emboldens criminals to commit such crimes.
The body of Nana Ama Clark has been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital mortuary, pending further investigation.
Meanwhile, the police have contacted the mother of the deceased as investigations are underway.
