The lifeless body of a middle-aged man was discovered, Sunday morning, at Trom Dominion City, a developing community within the Adweso Town Electoral Area in the New Juaben South Municipality of the Eastern Region, leaving residents in shock.

Relatives have identified the deceased as Isaac Amanor, a fashion designer who operated a tailoring shop near the Koforidua Sports Stadium.

Information gathered so far suggests Amanor may have been murdered by unknown assailants, who allegedly dumped his body at Dominion City, though the exact circumstances surrounding his death remain unclear.

According to residents, the body was discovered in the early hours of Sunday near residential homes in the community. The deceased, believed to be in his late 40s, was found wearing only a pair of boxer shorts.

The discovery has left residents alarmed, with many raising concerns about growing insecurity in the area and calling for an increased police presence.

Some residents also criticised what they described as a delayed police response, claiming that although the incident was reported shortly after the body was found, officers did not arrive promptly to retrieve the body and begin investigations.

They said the delay heightened anxiety in the community as residents and onlookers gathered at the scene awaiting the arrival of the police.

The Assembly Member for the Adweso Town Electoral Area, Samuel Atta Amo, described the incident as disturbing and called for urgent measures to strengthen security in the fast-developing community.
