A 36-year-old man has been found dead near the Kumasi Racecourse market in the Ashanti Region, with his throat slit.
Charles Ayirika’s body was found at the bank of the Subin river close to the Racecourse market in the morning of St. Valentine’s Day, Thursday, 14 February 2019.
The ‘khebab’ seller was murdered some metres away and dragged to the bank of the river. Blood stains were seen on the route to where his remains was dumped.
A knife with blood stains was also found at a spot where the assailants were suspected to have murdered Mr Ayirika, some traders told otecfmghana.com.
A brother to the deceased, Enoch Ayamga said the deceased left the Racecourse where they sell ‘khebab’ the previous day in the evening together with his other brothers, to Abrepo Junction where they reside and did not know when the deceased returned to the market and got murdered.
He said his late brother had no problem with anybody that could have led to his death.
The necessary rituals have been performed by Otumfuo’s Sumankwahene, Baffour Asabre Kogyawoasu II and the body conveyed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue.
