Mortuary attendants storm cemetery during funeral & seize corpse over debt (photos)

On Saturday, February 11, 2017, there was a
commotion at the Tema Community 9 Cemetery,
when a Mortuary attendant with Tema General
Hospital stormed the burial ground to seize a
dead body over an amount of GH¢40 (N3K)
balance for the services he rendered.


According to some eyewitnesses, while the body
was being interred, the enraged mortuary
attendant in the company of a colleague, seized
the coffin, opened it, picked out the dressed
corpse and started heading back to the mortuary.


According to him, the family of the deceased
failed to pay the full amount and while he was
busily preparing other bodies for burial, they
sneaked the corpse out of the mortuary, headed
straight to the cemetery to bury and was ready to
proceed to perform the funeral.
The funeral later continued following the intervention of some elders and friends of the
deceased.
