The Ghana Police Service has commenced investigations into the deaths of two women whose bodies were discovered in a hotel room in Tamale, with the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) deploying a special team to support the probe.
A statement issued by the Northern Regional Police Command on Tuesday, August 4, 2026, said the bodies were found in a room at Cab Hospitality Hotel in the Gbewa Residential Area of Tamale on Monday, August 3, 2026.
According to the Police, officers were dispatched to the hotel after receiving a report from the management and found the bodies of the two women, who are believed to be nationals of Benin.
The bodies have since been conveyed to the Tamale Teaching Hospital Mortuary for preservation and a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
