What led to the discovery of her body was a request by a fiancé of the deceased’s sister, one Pastor Michael Darko Amponsah alias Osofo Kofi.
Osofo Kofi according to reports requested to meet up with Asor after her interview. He is however alleged to have sexually assaulted and murdered the deceased with the assistance of Nana Onyaa Clark in whose house they buried the young lady.
Gory scenes captured in a video sighted by GhanaWeb showed how the almost decomposed body was being exhumed by the police with the assistance of residents.
With just polythene bags wrapped around their hands, the community members dug into a portion of the building supposed to be the kitchen of Nana Onyaa Clark to reach the body of Asor.
The remains of the body was packed into a police body bag before it was conveyed from the scene with several shocked residents looking on.
Meanwhile, the two suspects, Osofo Kofi and Nana Onyaa Clark are currently in police custody.
