The police in Goaso in the Ahafo Region have commenced investigations into the death of the Krontihene of Goaso Traditional Area, Nana Yenhyira Kwadwo Kumah.
The lifeless body of Kumah was discovered in a bush near the town on Tuesday (5 September).
The police have since deposited the body at the Goaso Government Hospital mortuary.
A section of the community suspects foul play.
According to sources, the sub-chief was embroiled in a dispute with the Omanhene of Goaso, Nana Akwasi Bosomprah.
The Krontihene, 60, went missing on Wednesday (30 August), after visiting the farm at Kyenkyehenekrom, near Ayomso, some 15km from Goaso the same day, reports the state-owned Daily Graphic.
A search party found his body on the outskirts of his farm with torn clothes. They found the food he sent to the farm and a bottle of suspected DDT, a poisonous substance, beside the body.
