Aflao, Sept. 7, GNA - Francis Nyatiglo, an apprentice Electrical Technician was on Wednesday September 3, this year, found hanging in his room in an advanced state of decomposition at Abeliakope, a suburb of Aflao. His bloated body was discovered by his co-tenants after they had been engulfed in a strong stench emanating from his room and therefore forced the door open.

A source from the area told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) that Nyatiglo had been heard several times threatening to take his life because his wife had deserted him.

Mr Baba Moro, Assistant Superintendent of Police In-Charge of Crime at the Aflao District Police Command confirmed the story when contacted, saying Police initial investigations did not suggest any foul play. He said that Nyatiglo, who had been attending his father's funeral at Agbozome on August 30, this year, returned to his room at Aflao secretly, and hanged himself with a piece of cloth tied to a roofing board.

Mr Moro said Nyatiglo's body had since been released for burial, while investigations continued.
