Audio: Police Mount Search For Killer of 18- Year- Old Lady At Diaso

The Police in Diaso in the Upper Denkyira West District of the Central Region, are on manhunt for the killer of an 18-year-old unidentified lady, allegedly murdered on Wednesday, January 9, 2025 at Diaso.

The suspect believed to be in his 20s and whose name is yet not known is a resident of the community and a known illegal miner, also known in the local parlance as ‘galamseyer’.

According to a source, they are not in a relationship but they all work as illegal miners in Diaso and in the morning of that fateful day the deceased was seen washing her face in the area.

Later in the afternoon, some neighbours mainly women saw the suspect with blood stains on his body. When he was confronted and interrogated by the women, he said that he had killed a big pig in his room and was roasting it, hence the stained blood on him.

When probed further to open his door to ascertain the truth of his allegations, he denied the access to his room and opened different room.

Attempts to get him to open the room where the blood was coming from, proved futile as he escaped after they had raised alarm to attract other residents to the scene.

When the room was forcibly opened by the police, the suspect had allegedly cut the head of the deceased and left her lying supine in a pool of blood.

Temporary investigations conducted on the body indicated that she was murdered with a sharp object in the head, leading to her untimely death.

The cause of the suspect’s nefarious action against the deceased is not yet established.

Meanwhile,  the remains of the deceased has since been deposited at Diaso health facility for preservation and autopsy.
