The Bono Regional Police Command has begun an investigation into the murder of 27-year-old Nyorkpatey Haggar, a seven-months-pregnant farmer who was found dead on her farm at Yaw Wusukrom near Nkrankwanta in the Dormaa West District on Thursday, November 6, 2025.

‎According to a police statement, the deceased was discovered after failing to return home from her farm that morning. 

‎Mr. Charles Asante, 57, who reported the incident, told police that Haggar left for her farm around 8:30 a.m. but did not come back, prompting a search party that later found her lifeless body.

‎When officers arrived at the scene, they found the body dressed in a multi-coloured outfit and blue trousers with white stripes. 

‎Preliminary investigations revealed that the victim’s throat had been slit with a sharp object, with blood clots visible in her mouth and ear canal, and foamy blood around her neck area.

‎Meanwhile, her body has been deposited at the Dormaa Ahenkro Traditional Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

‎Speaking on the incident, Chief Inspector Thomas Akeelah, Public Relations Officer of the Bono Regional Police Command, said the Command has intensified efforts to track down those responsible.

‎“This is a deeply disturbing crime, and we are leaving no stone unturned in our quest to identify and apprehend the perpetrators,” Chief Inspector Akeelah said. 

‎“We are appealing to members of the public who may have any information to come forward and assist the investigation.”

‎The Police Command has therefore, assured the public of its commitment to ensuring justice for the victim and her family.
