Chief, Pastor allegedly kill and bury student nurse at Mankessim.
Georgina Asor Botchwey, a 25-year-old student nurse at Cape Coast, was allegedly murdered and buried secretly by a Chief and Paster in the chief's house at Mankessim in the Central Region.
It is unclear why the Chief, who is also the President of the Mankessim Traders Association, Nana Crack, and the paster allegedly kidnapped and murdered the nurse.
The duo is said to have dug a pit in the under construction chief's house and buried the final year student nurse.
The pastor was apprehended in Cape Coast after confessing to the crime to police, who then followed him to the Chief's House.
The body was recovered from the chief's house, as were her bag, shoes, and other belongings.
Residents are in a state of shock and fear as a result of the incident.
In an interview with Kasapa News Yaw Boagyan, Hon. Cephas Authur, Assembly Member for the area, urged the Inspector General of Police to beef up security in Mankessim and its environs.
According to him, this is the fifth incident of its kind in Mankessim this year.
The Assemblyman demanded that the chief and paster be prosecuted, and that if found guilty, they be severely punished by the law to serve as a deterrent to others with similar evil intentions.
The victim's body was taken to the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital Mortuary for preservation and autopsy.

The Ghana Meteorological Agency (Ghana Meteo) has warned Ghanaians, particularly those in the country's south, to brace themselves for floods as the country expects more rain.
According to Joshua Asamoah, a meteorologist at Ghana Meteo, the heavy rainfall currently seen in the country's northern regions will gradually move south.
He stated that the rainy season has been extended this year because the dry season arrived earlier.
"Normally, we see this type of weather in August, but this year there was a bit of a lag because the dry season arrived earlier." The typical August weather that precedes the minor rainy season did not occur.
"Because the transition will last a long time, we anticipate that by the end of September, places in the middle belt will begin to experience frequent rains before reaching the coast in October."
"We should take advantage of the opportunity to prepare for flooding," Asamoah is quoted as saying in an interview with Citi News.
The meteorologist went on to say that people who live in low-lying areas should seriously consider evacuating to higher ground.
