28-year-old woman found dead in Kasoa Peace Town in suspected sexual assault

A 28-year-old woman named Monica Mawuse Bosso was discovered dead in her family compound in Kasoa Peace Town, Awutu Senya East Municipality, Central Region. Police are investigating her death as a possible case of sexual assault and murder. Initially, the scene appeared to be a suicide, but further examination suggests it might have been staged.

Monica was found beneath a mango tree, kneeling with a rope around her neck. Her body was partially clothed, and her skirt and underwear were torn and discovered at the scene. Police have collected semen samples for forensic analysis to determine if sexual assault took place. They are also investigating a withdrawal of GH¢2,000 from Monica's Mobile Money account around the time of her death.

The family was gathered for a one-week observance for a relative who died in a road accident two weeks prior. Monica's cousin, Esther Nyavor, expressed the family's grief and called for a thorough investigation. Community members and leaders have also demanded a comprehensive examination of the incident and have raised concerns about the area's security.

The Assemblyman for the Adam Nana Electoral Area, Frederick Kwabena Adasu, offered condolences and pledged to support the police in their investigation. The Central East Regional Police Command has started its investigation into the suspected homicide, and Monica's body has been taken to a mortuary for autopsy and further forensic examination.
