A 41-year-old farmer, Ebenezer Tettey-Wayo, has allegedly committed suicide at Tei Nkwanta near Koforidua in the Eastern Region.
The victim was found hanging on a rope on Monday morning after some family members broke into his room to search for him.
His reasons for committing suicide are not known.
According to some family members, he was struggling to pay a Ghc600 debt; hence they believe that might have been the cause of his action.
However, according to Tetteh Abraham, the family head, he received a report that the victim was behaving strangely in the house Sunday evening.
“I received a report that he was behaving strangely, moving from one point to another, and even said he was afraid to sleep in his room. He drinks, so we thought maybe he was drunk”.
The sister of the victim, Mary Wayo, said they planned to send him to the hospital on Monday only to be struck by the news of his death.
Police from the Koforidua District Police Command arrived at the sc at midday and conveyed the body to the morgue, pending further investigation.
The victim lost his parents a month ago and left behind two teenage children.
