Missing teacher trainee, 21, found de@d in an uncompleted building
The body of a 21-year-old teacher trainee, Hannah Akosua Frimpomaa, has been found in an uncompleted building at Mesidan in the Techiman North Municipality of the Bono East Region.
Information gathered indicates that Frimpomaa misplaced her phone. In the bid to get her phone back, she used a colleague’s phone to dial her number and an unknown person answered and asked her to come to Techiman for the missing mobile phone.
Initially, she hesitated in embarking on the journey from Atebubu to Techiman.
She pleaded with the unknown person to send the phone via a taxi driver from Techiman to Atebubu so she could pick it up from the Atebubu lorry station.
But, the unknown person convinced her to show up in person for her phone.
She left campus on Thursday, June 13, and travelled to Techiman to retrieve her missing mobile phone.
According to an uncle of the deceased, Kwasi Fosu, the family tried reaching Frimpomaa on the phone but to no avail.
Subsequently, the family reported her missing at a police station.
But Frimpomaa was found dead in an uncompleted building on Friday, June 21.
It is not clear whether she misplaced her phone on campus or while she was on her way to school.
Her handbag, containing her student identification card and other personal belongings, was also found beside the body.
Her assailant is said to have stabbed her in the throat multiple times with a knife.
According to Fosu, the police led the family to the scene after they found the body in a pool of blood.
He said the police told them that it was the owner of the uncompleted building who saw the body and reported it.
Mr Fosu said the body had been conveyed to the Techiman Holy Family Hospital, where an autopsy confirmed that she was stabbed multiple times in the throat and blood taken from her body.
The family is appealing to the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies to help bring the perpetrators to justice.
