Some unclaimed bodies at the Upper West Regional Hospital Mortuary have been buried by the Regional Police Command.
It follows futile efforts to trace relatives of the bodies which were deposited at the morgue by the Regional Police Command after criminal operations.
A statement from the police and signed by the Regional Public Affairs Officer, Inspector Gideon Ohene Boateng, indicated that it had “no option than to liaise with the Environmental Health and the District Assembly to bury the corpse as the hospital authorities persistently requested the Police to remove the bodies as the mortuary is congested and creating an unbearable situation in the facility.”
