Two people have been discovered dead in a private car parked on the premises of the Atonsu Agogo Shoe Factory in the Asokwa Municipality of the Ashanti Region.

The vehicle had been parked at the location since last Friday, November 21, 2025.

However, it was not until Monday, November 24, that an unusual stench, suspected to be from decomposing bodies, drew the attention of residents, who also observed flies hovering around the vehicle.

Environmental Health Officers and police personnel were called to the scene. 

Upon breaking into the locked vehicle, they found the decomposing bodies of a man and a woman in the back seat.

Both deceased persons were fully clothed. 

The woman was found lying on the chest of the man, while the man’s body was slumped against one of the doors.

Environmental Health Officer Stella Gabriel told Kumasi FM's Elisha Adarkwah that all the car doors were locked, prompting her team and the police to force entry through the driver’s side. 

She noted that the advanced state of decomposition made immediate identification difficult.

The officers disinfected the bodies and the surrounding area before the remains were conveyed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) morgue for preservation and further investigation, including a postmortem examination to determine the cause of death.

Police have since commenced investations into the incident.
