Police have arrested Nicholas Ato Bronk Taylor, the boyfriend of 24-year-old Cape Coast Technical University (CCTU) student, Nana Ama Clarke who was murdered with her genitals removed.
The police arrested Taylor on suspicion that he has a hand in the murder.
The body of Clarke, a level-300 marketing student of CCTU was found without the genitals at Ola Estate in Cape Coast.
Her vagina was gone.
The Public Relations Officer of the Central Regional Police Command, DSP Irene Oppong, said: “At about 9:00 pm on 13th May 2022, the police had information that a female adult was found lying dead at the roadside at OLA Estate near OLA College of Education, Cape Coast”.
“Police proceeded to the scene and found the body of an unknown person aged about 24 years lying naked with her private part vagina cut off and bruises on the body.”
“The body has been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital mortuary pending further investigation.”
Meanwhile, students of CCTU on Sunday night held a vigil in honour of their murdered colleague.
The Management of the University, in a statement, also called on the Ghana Police Service to expedite its investigation into the death “and bring the perpetrators of this gruesome murder to face the full rigours of the law.”
“In the meantime, management wishes to assure students, parents, guardians, and the public that security at the University remains strong,” the school added.
CCF’s crime prevention advocacy
Aside from paying for the fines of petty offenders, Crime Check Foundation (CCF) has been relentless in its advocacy to help reduce crime. It has introduced programmes including the latest ‘Stay Away From Trouble’ as part of its crime prevention advocacy project.
Through these programmes CCF cautions the general public against acts that could land them in trouble in a bid to curb crime.
The Foundation screens one-on-one interviews with prison inmates bringing to bear acts that landed them in prison and the difficulties they face in custody.
