Police at Sofoline in Kumasi say they suspect foul play as they begin investigations into the death of a 12-year-old boy whose body was found in a pool of water at the ongoing interchange project site.
Initial reports suggested another case of drowning in a pit at the construction site where three children were died in May.
But Police say evidence of cutlass wounds on the body of the unidentified deceased give them cause to believe he may have been killed and his body dumped there.
Crime officer at the Sofoline Police station ASP George Nkwantabisa told Joy News the spot where the body was found is also different from where bodies of the three children were found drowned in May after a heavy downpour.
He noted the gutter is not too deep to get somebody drowned.
According to him, post mortem was yet to be conducted on the deceased, insisting the police will rather remain quiet until investigations have been concluded.
Spokesperson for the Ashanti Regional Minster, Francis Dovovi, also told Joy News the regional coordinating council has been vigilant in ensuring the construction firm complies with an earlier directive to erect warning signs to prevent a reccurence of the incident.
