Two suspected thieves lynched in Cape Coast
Cape Coast, Aug. 30, GNA - The bodies of two men,
suspected to have been lynched on Thursday night,
were on Friday morning found at two separate
locations in the Cape Coast Metropolis.
The body of Kwesi Igwe, believed to be 28 years
was found at Kotokuraba near the Sonturk
Supermarket in a pair of jeans and a dark coloured
shirt with a deep cut on his head from which blood
oozed whiles the other, yet to be identified but
believed to be of the same age was found naked in
a gutter at Savoy with bruises on parts of his
body.

When the Ghana News Agency (GNA) got to Kotokuraba
at 0800 hours, people had gathered at the scene to
catch a glimpse of the body with majority of them
alleging that the two were thieves whose nemesis
had caught up with them.

The Kotokuraba District Police Commander, Police
Superintendent Jonathan Lamptey, in an interview
with GNA, could however not confirm the allegation
but said investigations were ongoing.

He said the bodies, one of which was identified by
a relative, had been deposited at the Cape Coast
Teaching Hospital Morgue for autopsy whiles the
other is yet to be identified.

He advised residents of Cape Coast to be extra
vigilant, especially during the Fetu Afahye
celebration and report any suspicious characters
to the police, and assured that the police will
beef up security and increase patrols during the
celebrations.
