The third person who was declared missing in Wednesday’s clash between the youth of Dawu and Abiriw over a disputed parcel of land, has been found dead.
Information reaching Adom News says the body of the deceased was found by a search party led by police personnel from the Akropong District Command.
Regional Crime Officer has arrived at the scene of the incident to begin investigations.
The two youth groups clashed on Wednesday over the disputed land which is currently being contested in court by elders of the two communities.
Reports say the court then issued a directive that no one should step on the land until ruling is passed.
But the youth of Abiriw went to farm on the disputed and were resisted by gun-wielding youth from the Dawu side.
The three youth from Dawu then allegedly opened fire on the Abiriw youth, injuring two of them, while the third could not be found.
The police then mounted a search throughout the night and early this morning, and found the dead body of the missing young man.
The youth in Abiriw are said to be incensed by this development, and are threatening revenge over the death of their colleague.
Tension is said to be rife in the area even though the police are in the area to calm tempers.
