Richard Awuni, an 8-year-old student at Bassengle M/A primary two in Bibiani Anhweaso Bekwai, Western North Region, drowned in a dugout in someone’s backyard farm.
The child went missing on Monday evening, according to sources, and the family launched a search, but he was not found.
They kept looking for him until they discovered him on the surface of a pond on a nearby tomato farm.
Kwame Awuni, the deceased’s father, told Rainbow Radio how his son was identified.
He explained that while looking for him elsewhere, a group of people looking for his son discovered him lying on the surface of a pond.
They later notified the Bibiani police command, and the body was taken to the government hospital mortuary for further examination.
