GNFS personnel carrying the decomposed body in a body bag
The decomposed body of a young woman, hidden in a septic tank, has been retrieved by the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) at Sunyani Magazine.
This follows preliminary reports suggesting that the deceased woman was brutally killed by her boyfriend. It is believed that the body was dumped and concealed in the septic tank by the suspected killer to hide evidence of his alleged crime from the community members and authorities.
According to the Public Relations Department of the Ghana National Fire Service, a distress call was placed to them on February 28, 2025 following the discovery of the body in the septic tank.
A team from the Sunyani Municipal Fire Station, led by Station Officer Yahaya and later joined by Regional Operations Officer DO II Noekor, was dispatched to the scene in response to the distress call.
“On Friday, February 28, 2025, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) uncovered a nearly decomposed body of a young woman at Sunyani Magazine.
“The Sunyani Municipal Fire Station, led by Station Officer Yahaya and later joined by Regional Operations Officer DO II Noekor, responded to the distress call at 5:30 PM,” a statement released indicated.
It was added that the decomposed state of the body suggests the deceased had likely been dead for approximately three weeks, which is believed to be around the time the crime occurred.
Meanwhile, the boyfriend, the main suspect in the incident, has been arrested by the police as investigations continue to determine the circumstances surrounding the death.
“Preliminary reports suggest the victim was murdered by her boyfriend and dumped into a septic tank approximately three weeks ago. The suspect has since been arrested, and the police have taken charge of the body for further investigations.”
The police have yet to announce the identity of the victim and that of the suspect.
