Two separate suicides have reportedly occurred within 24 hours in the Ashanti Region.
The first incident involved a 70-year-old farmer, Charles Mustapha, from Adansi Nsese in the Edubiase District.
Relatives reported him missing, prompting a search that lasted several hours. His lifeless body was later discovered hanging from a cocoa tree in a nearby farm, with a yellow nylon rope around his neck.
The police were alerted, and his body was transported to the New Edubiase Government Hospital mortuary for preservation.
In the second case, a 27-year-old woman, Hawa, took her own life at Bediem near Akrofuom. Her fiancé explained that she had gone to fetch water while he was at work. Later, he was informed that she had hanged herself in their room.
Upon arrival at the scene, the police found Hawa’s body hanging from the ceiling. Her remains were taken to OD Mortuary Services in Obuasi for preservation, with an autopsy to follow to determine the cause of death.
