Ejura-Sekyedumase: Police investigate alleged suicide of 38yr-old teacher

Police are investigating the death of a headteacher of the Apaaso M/A Basic School at Skyedumase in the Ejura-Sekyedumase Municipality of the Ashanti Region after his lifeless body was found hanging in his room.

The deceased allegedly left a note and some bottles suspected to be harmful substances in the room.

Although the exact cause of death has not been established, some relatives attribute it to a recent trauma the deceased suffered after he was defrauded to the tune of GH¢7,000.

“We heard on Monday that our colleague was no more and I ran to the place to see for myself and I saw him hanging in his room with a sponge

I searched in his room and found some medicines he had taken before hanging himself

I also heard that some fraud guys had taken about GH¢7,000 from him, and I think that may be the cause

But when I asked the father, he told me that the stepfather and the brother gave him GH¢20,000, so I don’t think that may also be the cause and so the body is at the morgue.”
