The body of Botchway has been deposited at the Twifo Praso Government Hospital Morgue for autopsy.
The District Police Commander, Nana Ofori, said his outfit received a call on Friday that somebody had been killed around palm plantation, a situation which compelled him to dispatch his men to the scene.
He stated that when they got to the scene, they saw Botchway lying in a pool of blood as his shirt and trouser had been tied around his neck.
