According to the report by TV3 GH today Saturday morning, residents of Dambai in the Oti Region have been left in shock following the tragic murder of a 32-year-old doctor, Owusu Ofori.
His lifeless body was discovered in his house with visible wounds on his hands and legs, raising concerns about growing insecurity in the area.
According to reports, Dr. Ofori, who worked at a local hospital, was found on Thursday morning after neighbors noticed an unusual silence from his residence.
One neighbor, Madam Akosua Mensah, recounted the moment they realized something was wrong.
“We always see him leave for work early, but today, his car was still parked. We knocked, but there was no response,” she said.
The police were alerted, and upon entering the house, they found the doctor’s body lying in a pool of blood.
Initial investigations revealed deep cuts on his hands and legs, suggesting he might have tried to defend himself during the attack.
“We suspect foul play,” said Inspector Kwame Badu of the Oti Regional Police Command.
“There were signs of struggle in the living room, and some items were missing. We are following all leads to uncover the truth.”
The police have since launched a full investigation, with crime scene experts gathering evidence.
The body has been taken to the hospital for an autopsy to determine the exact cause of death.
Dr. Ofori was described by colleagues as a dedicated and kind-hearted medical professional who always prioritized the well-being of his patients.
“He was young, brilliant, and committed to saving lives. We are devastated,” said Dr. Sarah Boateng, a coworker at the hospital.
Family members, who arrived at the scene, were inconsolable. His elder brother, Samuel Ofori, expressed his disbelief.
“Owusu had no enemies. He just wanted to help people. We need justice for him,” he said with tears in his eyes.
The tragic incident has sparked fear in the community, with residents calling for improved security measures.
“This has never happened here before. We are scared for our safety,” said local resident Yaw Mensah.
Police have urged anyone with information to come forward to assist with investigations.
