Police in the region have since picked up the body of the deceased, David Atinga Aniyiri and deposited it at the Hospital for a post-mortem.
Before his death, the 34-year-old nurse was working at the Kpasera CHPS Compound in the Mpaha Health Zone.
Reports say he had a misunderstanding with his girlfriend, who threatened to jilt him because her family insisted that the deceased must convert to Islam before they would allow him to marry her.

It is suspected that Atinga could not contain the threats of losing his lover since he probably was not willing to convert to her religion, so he decided to take his own life.
