Ghanaian authorities are conducting investigations into several separate incidents involving deaths across different regions.

In October 2026, police investigated the deaths of two young children. In the Western North Region, a three-year-old girl was found mutilated in a cemetery, leading to the detention of a suspect identified as Sumaila. In the Volta Region, a 26-year-old man was arrested following the death of a two-year-old boy.

In late October 2026, investigations expanded to include the deaths of two women. In the Ashanti Region, a 40-year-old trader was found dead in her room in Tanoso. In Accra, police are treating the death of a female bank employee as a homicide after discovering her body in a rented apartment with visible injuries and missing personal electronics.
