MAN LYNCHED (PAGE 3)

A MAN believed to be between 35 and 40 years of age was lynched at Adisadel Estate, a suburb of Cape Coast, in the early hours of yesterday.
Briefing the press, the Cape Coast District Police Commander, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) William Gyamfi, said the police received information around 7 a.m. that the body of a man suspected to have been lynched was lying by the roadside in the estate.
ASP Gyamfi said police personnel dispatched to the scene found the deceased naked and immediately plunged into investigations.
He said one suspect who had been mentioned in connection with the lynching was yet to be picked up whilst investigation continued to apprehend any other suspects.
He said so far the police were yet to establish the offence committed by the deceased.
ASP Gyamfi said the body of the deceased, who is yet to be identified, had been deposited at the Central Regional Hospital morgue in Cape Coast.
He denied earlier reports that the legs of the deceased had been chopped off.
ASP Gyamfi said that was the second lynching within the month and appealed to the public not to take the law into their own hands but to hand over suspects to the police for investigations.
