A 33-year-old man, known only as Kwasi, who allegedly hanged himself in Ahenboboano, a quarter of Berekum in the Bono Region, has left the neighborhood in a state of shock and disbelief.

The body of the deceased was found hanging from the ceiling, tied with an electric iron wire, on the night of Tuesday, January 14, 2024. The police have since retrieved the body and deposited it in a mortuary for preservation.

Mr. Augustine Oppong, the deceased’s friend, told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) during a visit to the scene that the deceased resided in Adabokrom in the Bia East District of the Western Region.
