AN unidentified woman, believed to be in her late 20s, was found dead in a pool of blood under a palm tree at the Uddara Military Barracks at Bantama, in Kumasi, early yesterday morning.
The police suspect foul play and have, therefore, launched investigations into what appears to be a case of murder.
Chief Inspector Yusif Mohammed Tanko, Ashanti Regional Police Public Relations Officer, told the Daily Graphic that the Military Police reported that they found the remains of a young lady in an undeveloped area of the barracks close to the military clinic at about 4a.m. yesterday.
He said a team of investigators dispatched to the scene found the body with multiple knife injuries; two on the neck, one on the hand and another on the shoulder.
According to the police, the deceased was a little stout, chocolate-coloured, had a broad face, a permed-hair and wore a pink gown and a T-shirt to match and looked about 5ft 4inches tall.
Chief Inspector Tanko said there was blood all over the area and indicated that the police suspected that there was a struggle between the deceased and her assailant(s).
He also revealed that the deceased might have been dragged from the street to where the palm tree stood, about five metres from the road.
According to him, while her panties and slippers were found in a nearby farm, her dress was found on the road.
Other sources in the area said they heard someone shouting for help but no one went to rescue her.
Meanwhile the body has been deposited at the KATH morgue while police investigation continues.
