Personnel of the Asokwa Police Station in the Ashanti Region are searching for clues to help them track down the killers of a young woman believed to be in her early 30s.
Aniwaa, said to be a native of Kwaso-Deduako, was found dead with her breasts, genitals and other body parts removed in the latest killing linked to ritual murder.
She was allegedly killed by unknown persons on the night of Wednesday, January 11, 2012 on a path leading to her residence at Kwanwoma new site in the Atwima-Kwanwoma District of the Ashanti region.
The deceased was said to have gone out to see off a visitor but never returned home alive.
Her body was found, by some passersby, near a bush at the side of the path in the early hours of Thursday, with her intestines gushing out.
The deceased was without clothes when her body, which was lying in a supine position, was spotted around 6:00.a.m.
The incident, which was the second of its kind in two months in the area, had thrown the town into shock and disbelief, as residents said the young woman might have been killed for ritual purposes.
Collins Aduhene, a resident, told Daily Guide at the scene that women in the area had become the targets of ritualists, thereby making people fear for the safety of adult female members of their families.
He said the latest attack took place when the deceased person went out to see off her male visitor around 8:00.p.m. on Wednesday.
According to Collins, what was not clear was whether Aniwaa was murdered by her unknown visitor or contract killers just as she was returning home.
