The Peki Police is investigating three people for allegedly exhuming the body of a buried woman in the local cemetery.
The late Leticia Bosu was buried on Saturday morning, yet, her body and coffin was found at the Peki Avetile roundabout the next morning.
According to the family of the deceased, the town’s traditional authorities had opposed the burial because the family had failed to pay a fine of GHc100 as well as bottles of schnapps and a ram as atonement for the deceased’s failure to participate in communal labour.
In an interview with Joy News, Superintendent Philip Dugah, the Peki District Police Commander said the suspects have been interrogated and granted bail. "...The police went there and saw that the dead body was in the coffin and the lid of the coffin was deposited elsewhere...", he said.
