Eight bodies have been washed ashore in two seperate beaches in Accra in what is suspected to be another holiday disaster.

Reports of revelers drowning in the sea during festive occasions are not new but the drowning casualties after the Easter festivities appear to be increasing by the day.

Three bodies were retrieved at the Sakumono beach on Wednesday, with five other bodies reclaimed at the Bortianor beach.

Weija District Police Commander Superintendent Shaibu Osei told Joy News three bodies were washed ashore Tuesday at Bortianor, while two others were later found on Wednesday at the same beach. 

All the three bodies were identified and later sent to the Korle-Bu Hospital morgue, Superintendent Shaibu told Joy News' Fred Smith.

The two other bodies that were found on Wednesday, are yet to be identified. The bodies are said to be in a state of decomposition.
