C/R: Man Found Dead In A Gutter

A man believed to be in his twenties, identified as Enoch Arthur, popularly known as Paa Joe, who hails from Gomoa Afransi, the District Capital of Gomoa East, in the Central region was found dead in a gutter last Tuesday.

He was found lifeless in a gutter in cold blood at a location between Gomoa Osamkrom and Gomoa Abaasa near a coffin sale point on the Winneba-Swedru road.

The horrific incident happened after several search for the young man by his family members proved abortive in Gomoa Afransi and its environs.

His body was later discovered by his family members based on a tipoff by one taxi driver also a native of the town who used to know him.

The place where he was found is not too far from the Ghana Prison Service.

According to the driver, not too long before his death, he saw Paa Joe on the Winneba road heading towards Gomoa Abaasa around Gomoa Awobrew.

The taxi driver indicated that since Paa Joe is a grown up, he thought the deceased was going to do his own business at that place when he saw him so he did not bother to question him or get into his affairs.

“He didn’t show any sign of being helplessness since I saw him very fit and healthy enough.”

According to the Taxi driver, it was after he returned to the town that he heard the announcement being made about his missing.

The deceased is said to be the first born of Mr. Patrick Arthur, drinking bar attendant at Gomoa Afransi.

Meanwhile the residents suspect that the deceased might have been knocked down by hit-and-run driver on that road.

The deceased, Enock Arthur, left behind a wife and three children with the last born being 10-months old now.
