Police in the Ashanti Region have picked up one person in connection with the suspected murder last week of a nurse with the Sewua Health Center, Ruth Ama Eshun.

There are speculations the deceased was raped, robbed and killed but the police is yet to confirm that.

Ruth Ama Eshun, who is a mother of three, was found dead at a secluded area close to her Ayoum new site residence in the Bosomtwe District of Ashanti last Tuesday, February 4, 2020.

She was said to have left the house on Monday, February 3, 2020, and did not return.

To make matters worse, the crime scene where the body was found was set ablaze on Saturday, February 8, 2020.
