A tragic incident has occurred in Atwima Boko, a town in the Ashanti Region, where a 33-year-old nurse named Rita Asamoah has been murdered by unidentified assailants.

According to sources within her family, Rita's husband alerted the police during the early hours of Tuesday, October 10, reporting that his wife had not returned home after her previous day's work.

Subsequently, law enforcement and members of the community launched a search operation to locate Rita. During the search, her sandals were discovered approximately one hundred meters away from her residence. Tragically, her lifeless body was later found in a nearby bush.

Beside her, authorities found a sum of money and various items she had purchased, including diapers and baby food.

The police promptly transported Rita's body to the morgue and have initiated an investigation into the circumstances surrounding her tragic demise.

She left behind three children. Following the incident, residents in the community say they are living in fear.

“Due to the death of our neighbour, we are indeed living in fear,” said Samuel Afrifa, a neighbour of the deceased. “We want authorities to beef up security here.”
