A woman, estimated to be in her twenties, was found dead hanging from a tree in Akweley Peace Town, Kasoa, Central Region, on Sunday morning, October 4, 2026.
Residents reported hearing screams around midnight but did not investigate the sounds at the time. The body was later taken by police to a mortuary for examination.
Police are conducting an investigation to determine the cause of death and the circumstances surrounding the incident. Some residents suggested that the woman may have travelled to the community with people attending a one‑week funeral observance, though this claim has not been confirmed.
There are unverified allegations that the scene may have been staged to suggest suicide and that a sexual assault could have occurred. The cause of death remains unknown as the investigation continues.
