Man stripped naked and stoned to death at Gomoa Aprah

The Buduburam police in the Gomoa East District of the Central Region are calling on the public to assist them with information on the people who stoned a man to death.

According to starrfm.com.gh, the incident occurred at Gomoa Aprah near Gomoa Buduburam.

Community members suspect that the deceased was brought from elsewhere to be killed in the area because he was not known.

Residents of the area are reported to have said that they heard somebody shouting for help around 1:00 am Monday, but out of fear, they did not wake up to rescue the man.

One Samuel Ofori, a worker at a block factory where the dead body was found, said he was afraid and couldn’t come out when he heard the call for help.

Some eyewitnesses said they found blocks, stones, and sticks suspected to have been used in killing the yet-to-be identified man’s lifeless body. They say this particular incident is not the first of its kind in the area.
