A man, yet-to-be-identified, has been discovered lying half-dead at Kasoa Waluntu in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.
The man, believed to be in his 20s, was found in front of a Christ Apostolic Church in the area.
He had blood oozing from his mouth and the front of his legs with marks which appeared as that from nails and a swollen face.
Some residents, who have been thrown into a state of shock, suspect he was beaten and dumped at the church premises.
Others also suspect he is a criminal who might have escaped lynching after a botched operation.
