A caretaker identified as Mahama Korana has been shot and killed by unknown assailants in the North Gonja District of the Savannah Region.
The deceased who has served for quite some years was appointed by the Paramount chief of the Wasipe Traditional Area, Anyame Kabasagya.
Some residents who have been thrown into a state of shock told the media they suspect Mr. Korana was trailed and killed.
The deceased believed to be in his 70s was found in a prone position in a pool of blood in his room.
The body has since been deposited at the Tamale Teaching Hospital mortuary, with investigations underway to apprehend the perpetrators.
A similar case was recorded in January 2024 as a caretaker, believed to be in his late 40s, was discovered dead in a locked uncompleted building situated in Domeabra within the Ga South Municipality of the Greater Accra Region.
It was reported that the individual had relocated to the area approximately two months ago to oversee the maintenance of the uncompleted structure on behalf of a couple residing in Osu.
The newly elected Assemblyman for Domeabra Electoral Area, Joseph Akrashie, disclosed that concerned residents alerted him about a foul odour emanating from the man’s residence.
Upon investigation, his decomposing remains were stumbled upon and the Denkyira police were promptly contacted for assistance.
Police officers swiftly arrived at the scene, forcibly entered the locked premises, and retrieved the deceased.
