deceased was discovered so we quickly contacted the Police at Abor,” he said.

Mr. Agbaga further told the GNA that there were some signs of lacerations on the body, connoting torture, while a finger of the deceased was also cut off leaving the deceased bicycle and corn mill flour by him.

However, the Abor Police command, who confirmed the incident to the GNA, said the Police is yet to determine the cause of death and that no arrest had been made yet.

The Abor Police command said a team of officers from the station accompanied them to the scene, where they found the lifeless body of the deceased which was partially decomposed.

They appealed to the public, who may have any information that can help in the investigations into the death, to contact the nearest Police station for further
action.
