The Upper West Security Council said it is not ruling out coordinated killings in the murder cases that have been recorded in the Wa Municipality.
The latest killing involves the driver’s mate who was murdered in the suburb of Wa.
The murder of Opoku Richard brings the number of persons killed in the municipality to 17 in the last three years.
The deceased, Opoku Richard was found dead with his throat cut at the back of a trailer loaded with thousands of tonnes of salt that he accompanied to Wa.
Speaking to Ahotor News, the Municipal Chief Executive for Wa in the Upper West Region, Tahiru Issahaku Moomin said the security, Chiefs, and Council will meet today to verify new leads that have been picked up.
Mr. Tahiru Issahaku Moomin, has described the recent gruesome murders in the region as a coordinated crime.
He explained that the perpetrators do not operate consistently, as the discoveries of the deceased bodies vary.
This is a coordinated crime and the perpetrators have their way of operation,” he said.
According to Mr Moomin, while previous murders involved missing body parts, the recent killings have left the bodies intact, apart from the victims being slaughtered.
The MCE noted that the variation in the killings creates confusion regarding the motive behind them, as it often provides leads.
