The father of the deceased, Joseph Osei, said his son went to the farm last week Monday with the mother but did not return.

Some residents, who went to the scene, have expressed shock over the incident and read spiritual meanings into it.
Meanwhile, police have taken the body for further investigation to be able to establsih the cause of his death.
