MAN COMMITS SUICIDE (PAGE 30)

AN UNIDENTIFIED man believed to be in his early 30’s was on Monday found hanging on a tree at Kalpohini, a suburb of Tamale.
Residents in the neighbourhood claimed they saw the body around 4:00a.m. when they woke up.
Some of the residents who had gathered around the body told the Daily Graphic that they had never seen the deceased in the area and neither did they know his friends or relations.
As of the time of filing this report, the deceased had still not been identified and the police in Tamale were still investigating the matter.
The Assemblymember of the Kalpohini-Fuo area, Mr Mohammed Awal, told the Daily Graphic that he and residents were still at a loss as to what could have made the man to hang himself.
According to him, he was earlier informed that a woman had claimed the deceased to be her son but when he (the assemblymember) asked her to accompany him to the police station to make a report the woman declined.
Mr Awal said he was later informed that the woman had denied being the deceased’s mother.
The assemblymember, however, observed that the deceased probably came from another area.
