Mr Jonas Agbagba, the Assembly member of the area told ModernGhana news that the body of the deceased was decomposed when it was found in the bush.

He noted that the deceased might have been murdered by unknown assailants since a closer look at the body reveals some deep machete wounds with the heart removed.
