THE police in the Jomoro District have been struggling to establish the identity and nationality of a young white woman whose body was washed ashore at Jomoro in the Western Region, on October 16, this year.
According to the police, the body of the woman, believed to have drowned, was washed ashore with almost all her long hair pulled off and parts of the body eaten by fish.
The police said their efforts to unravel the identity or nationality of the lady had been undermined by the fact that no identity card or anything to provide a clue was found on her.
They said they had enquired from hotels and guest houses in the area whether any guest had gone missing or any foreigner had checked in and not returned to their facility but there was no information to that effect.
The police said they were left with no other option than to secure a court order to bury the body.
They were of the view that the body had been in the water for more than three days and could not be kept any longer.
They said the police would, however, keep the clothes found on the body for further investigations.
