The police in the Jomoro District of the Western Region are struggling to determine the nationality of a young expatriate lady whose body was found at the coastline of the district.
The police said because the deceased could not be identified, she would be buried without any ceremony.
The body was washed ashore with almost all her hair off, exposing parts of her skull and parts of the body suspected to have been eaten by fish.
The police said they tried to locate either friends or establish the nationality of the lady but there was no identity card or any clue on her.
They said they went to hotels and guest houses in the area to find out if there was any missing guest or any foreigner who had not returned to their facility but there was no information to that effect.
The police said they were left with no option than to seek a court order for the burial of the deceased at an identifiable location where in future her grave could be identified if they had information on her.
The police are keeping the clothes the lady wore before her death, which could also be a clue to identifying the body if the family should show up one day.
Asked who would be responsible for the burial, the police said they had to take care of any expenses and that for the sake of international diplomacy, the police had to ensure the burial was decent.
