It was a tragic scene for the people of SS, a suburb of Dormaa- Ahekro in the Brong-Ahafo Region, when the body of an eight-year-old boy, Frank Antwi was found floating in an uncovered septic tank in an uncompleted building.
According to residents, the owner of the uncompleted building is currently out of town and the septic tank had remained uncovered for months.
The parents of the deceased, who did not know about the tragedy had earlier reported to the police about their missing son and also caused announcements to be made on radio stations for the public to help them trace him.
The body which was found on Monday, June 20, 2011, has since been deposited at the Dormaa Presbyterian Hospital morgue for autopsy.
Meanwhile, some irate residents have ordered all land owners and landlords to urgently cover all open septic tanks, to prevent further tragedies.
