The most recent one to have hit the country is the case of a middle-aged man believed to be in his early 30’s who was found dead near a tree with a rope on Thursday, March 9, 2017 near the Achimota main overpass.
Eyewitnesses at the scene, however, suspect it was a case of murder rather than suicide because “the rope found around the body was “too thin” and “can’t be used to facilitate suicide.”
