The incident has shocked residents of the area, who are calling for the Police to apprehend the perpetrators and for the Cape Coast Metropolitan Assembly to fix the street lights in the area that have malfunctioned.
The residents believe the darkness that envelops the area at night emboldens people to commit such crimes.
The boyfriend of the deceased has been arrested to aid the investigations, and the body has been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital mortuary.
