12-year-old boy found dead in muddy pit at Opeikuma

In a tragic incident at Opeikuma Vat in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region, a 12-year-old boy was discovered dead in a muddy pit on the property of a building. The discovery occurred hours after an altercation with his mother, who allegedly has a history of violence towards both him and others in the community.

The body was found partially undressed in a supine position, with visible injuries. The reason for these wounds and the sequence of events leading to the boy's demise remain unascertained. Gifty, the mother in question, has previously undergone treatment for her mental health issues and was reportedly removed by her family due to concerns.

Upon receiving a call to the scene, the police swiftly arrived to secure the area and collect the body for further examination. The victim's family has not commented on the matter and is awaiting the results of the investigation to understand the circumstances surrounding the boy's death.
