A woman who was seven months pregnant has been gruesomely murdered, possibly for ritual purposes, by some unknown assailants at Pakyi Number One near Kumasi.

Akosua Mansah, 32, was found dead in an uncompleted building at Pakyi Number One, near the International Community School around 11:00am on Saturday.

The deceased, a resident of Nkwanta near Pakyi Number One, had her throat slashed by her fiendish killers who could not be traced.

Some sperms were found on her thighs, indicating that she might have been raped before being killed.

Some construction workers who were going to work in the uncompleted building found the dead body in a pool of blood and raised alarm.

There were houseflies all over the lifeless body of Mansah, a mother of three, with her brassier lying beside it.

Eyewitnesses suspected that the pregnant mother was killed somewhere else the previous night, and her body later dumped in the uncompleted building.

Residents of Pakyi Number One where the dead body was found were shocked to the marrow as they were heard cursing the killers of the deceased.

They believed that the killers cut the throat of the pregnant woman and drained her blood for spiritual purposes.

The police were called to pick the dead body which is now at the mortuary awaiting autopsy, DAILY GUIDE was told.

The paper also gathered that the police had started investigations to apprehend the runaway killers of the deceased.
