The tragic death of a popular Kenkey seller has thrown the Abesim township in the Sunyani Municipality into a state of grief and disbelief. The Ghana News Agency (GNA) gathered the children of the late Joyce Asantewaa, a kenkey seller at Uncle Paul, part of the town, discovered the body of their late mother in the early hours of Wednesday September 11. According to them, their deceased mother woke up early in the morning to prepare the stuff for sale, only for them to discover the body, with parts of the face deeply burnt, inside a coal pot. Mr Kinsley Kusi Appiah, the Assemblyman for the Abesim-Ankobea Electoral Area, who confirmed the story, told the GNA the police had since deposited the body at a mortuary in Sunyani for preservation and autopsy as investigations continued. Residents said they were, however, shocked and baffled about the sad incident, and therefore called on the police to be expeditious in their investigations. According to some residents, the town experienced a downpour the previous night and they suspected the deceased might have slipped and fell into the coal pot. However, other residents said they suspected foul play and called for thorough police investigations. Source: Ghana News Agency
