The 58-year-old security guard who was thought to have been slain last Friday in Wa has had his remains located.
On Sunday, a local search team discovered him buried in a little grave on the outskirts of Wa. They notified the police.
"We reached a point where we were able to identify certain objects that we believed to be human remains.
We continued to an incomplete building, where we also discovered some odd stuff, according to a search team member.
After then, the search team informed the police of the find.
"They [the police] came, and one of the night security personnel we've been looking for was buried in a very little grave," the witness said.
Wa locals have been shaken by the situation, but peace has already been restored.
Residents protested last Friday over the ten-fatality serial murders of private security personnel.
A team of specialized detectives has been sent by the police administration to Wa, the regional hub for the Upper West.
