Residents of Enchi in the Western North Region were met with a harrowing sight when they discovered the decomposing body of an unidentified woman discarded in a sack by the roadside.

The grim finding was prompted by reports of a foul odour emanating from the area.

Upon investigation, locals encountered the deceased lying in a supine position, completely unclothed.

Authorities have yet to establish the woman’s identity, as no missing person reports matching her description have been filed in the vicinity.

This has led to suspicions that she may have been murdered elsewhere and later transported to the location.

The Enchi District Police Command has since secured the scene and initiated a thorough investigation.
