Information gathered by mybrytfmonline.com indicates that the Krachi East Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Francis Kofi Okesu, has been found dead in a hotel room in Kumasi.
He was found dead alone, in a room he himself had booked and in what police sources say is unclear if any foul play was involved.
Police found his body in a supine position in bed naked with his left arm hanging beside the bed on Sunday.
A careful examination of the body by health professionals found no marks of violence, but traces of spermatozoa on his thigh.
According to the officials, the drops of spermatozoa suggest a possible sexual act before his death.
The deceased according to sources had checked into the hotel late on Friday, September 2 with his driver, Sylvester Attah.
The driver, however, left to lodge in a different hotel.
Mr. Kofi Okesu has not been seen since he checked into the hotel and efforts to reach him proved futile.
Investigations established that Mr. Attah could also not reach him on the scheduled day of return to Dambai which was on September 4.
An official complaint was lodged with the police by the Manager of the said hotel in Kumasi. Subsequently, the police had to break into the room only to find the body of Mr Okesu.
The Regional Crime Scene team of the police proceeded to the crime scene for investigations to commence.
Police sources say they have conducted a search of the room but have found nothing incriminating so far.
Meanwhile the Ashanti Regional Minister, Simon Osei Mensah and Municipal Chief Executive of Oforikrom, Abraham Antwi and other security operatives have been to the scene.
The body has been deposited at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital mortuary for preservation and autopsy.
