Court Orders Woman’s Body To Be Exhumed
Environmental officers in the Kwahu West municipality of the Eastern Region have exhumed the body of a woman they mistakenly buried with others in a mass burial exercise at the Nkawkaw-Trafford cemetery.
The Nkawkaw magistrate court ordered for the exhumation of the corpse on request by the family.
The case at the court is yet to be done with.
The body of the late Afua Ataa was kept at the Nkawkaw Holy Family hospital after she was pronounced dead.
Efforts by the family to get post-mortem on the body got dramatic after hospital officials could not find the body.
It emerged that her corpse was part of a mass burial which took place in January.
