A two-year-old girl has been found dead at Sefwi Awaso in the Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Municipality of the Western North Region, days after she was reported missing.
The deceased, identified as Denisa Neomina, reportedly disappeared after a 31-year-old man, Sumaila Adu Atta, allegedly took her from her home in Sefwi Awaso on Saturday, October 10, 2026.
Speaking to Adom News, the Assemblyman for the Awaso Electoral Area, Kennedy Ayitey Wisdom, said the matter was reported to the police at Sefwi Bekwai.
A search team was subsequently formed to locate the missing girl, led by DSP Peter Nartey and the Bibiani District Police Command, headed by ASP Sampson Abgeko.
However, the search ended tragically when the girl’s lifeless body was discovered with her head, both legs and right arm missing.
The Assemblyman has urged parents to remain vigilant and closely monitor their children’s movements to help prevent similar incidents in the future.
Meanwhile, two suspects have been arrested to assist with police investigations, while the deceased’s body has been deposited at the Sefwi Anhwiaso Community Hospital morgue for preservation.
