Bodies of the two women were found near a hotel at Abrepo in Kumasi by some residents, who called the police to take them to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, after libation was poured by some elders of the community.

Police source earlier indicated that, one of the women, fair in complexion, and believed to be in  her 40s, had her black trousers pulled down to her knees without panties with her red blouse pulled up to the neck and a lady’s handbag around the neck.

The other woman was found wearing a black blouse and skirt with her face and hands pinned to the ground and her skirt unwrapped to the knees.

Mrs Elizabeth Agyemang, Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister, who visited the scene, appealed to the public, especially women, to be more security conscious.
