He was found hanging on a mango tree with a twine near the Presbyterian Church at Peace Town, Half-Assini around 0600 hours on Saturday.

A middle-aged man believed to be in his early 30’s was also 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."
