Ankaful, 
Jan. 20, GNA – Georgina Antwi, a fifteen-year-old girl of Ankaful basic
school near Cape Coast has been allegedly murdered in cold blood by some
suspected “Sakawa” boys living in that community.

According to Mr. Emmanuel Mintah, the father
of the deceased, the gruesome murder of the young girl occurred last Friday,
January 17, whilst the victim was on her way to school from Akotokyir to
Ankaful on a bush path, when she was whisked away and later murdered.

Her lifeless body was found in the early
hours of Saturday by some residents of Ankaful and then alerted the Police.

The body of the deceased had been deposited
at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital awaiting autopsy and preservation.

Police investigations later led to the
arrest of two young men suspected to have allegedly masterminded the killing to
assist with investigations.

They are reported to have mentioned a third
person who is currently on the run of which the police are seeking the support
of the public to apprehend him.

Mr. Mintah described his daughter as obedient,
intelligent and respectable who did not joke with her education and called on
the police to ensure that the perpetrators of the heinous crime were brought to
book.

The Chief of Ankaful, Nana Abura Sankoma, in
an interview with the media was alarmed at the recent increase in crime in the
community.

He however said that the traditional
authorities together with the security agencies were working to rid the area of
social miscreants terrorizing innocent people in the area.

Meanwhile the Police have intensified their
investigations, a police source told the Ghana News Agency in Cape Coast.
