A 40-year-old man, identified as George Anim, has reportedly died while in police custody at the Twifo Praso Police Station in the Central Region.

Mr Anim was arrested on November 25, 2025, over allegations of defiling a 14-year-old girl.

He was initially detained at the Assin Awinsan District Police Station and later transferred to Twifo Praso, where he was said to have died three days after his arrest.

Family members who viewed the body claim to have seen marks they believe suggest possible assault, raising concerns about the circumstances surrounding his death.

Suspecting foul play, the family has demanded answers from the police on what may have caused the alleged injuries.

Following a petition to the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), a police delegation was dispatched to meet the family.

The team reportedly assured them that a thorough investigation would be conducted to uncover the truth behind Anim’s death.
