The Suntreso District Police Command has commenced investigations into a building collapse that killed two children, and left another in a critical condition at Kwadaso, a suburb of Kumasi.

The walls of the building fell and trapped three children when police proceeded to the scene, following a distress call at about 10:30pm on Saturday.

It took the intervention of personnel from the Ghana National Fire Service to recover the two bodies from the rubble.

The bodies of the deceased have since been deposited at the KATH morgue awaiting autopsy.
