WOMAN'S BODY FOUND FLOATING (BACK PAGE, OCT 26, 2010)

THE body of an 18-year-old woman who had been declared missing has been found floating under a bridge on the Bolgatanga-Zuarungu road.
Augustina Anyeema had been declared missing the previous day before her floating body was seen on Sunday near the offices of the Metro Mass Transit Company at about 6 a.m.
Augustina, a resident of Daportindongo, a suburb of Bolgatanga, was said to have left home the previous day.
A close relative told the Daily Graphic that the family was suspicious about the circumstances of her death and wondered why she had gone that far since their house was quite a distance from where the body was found.
“We were surprised this morning when we had the information that the body of our daughter had been found under this bridge. We were surprised because where we live is far from this river and she is not known to like swimming,” the family member said.
The deceased was wearing a shirt and a pair of blue jeans shorts, both of which were intact at the time she was found floating. The body had since been deposited at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital mortuary for autopsy.
