Man hangs himself after allegedly killing girlfriend

A 45-year-old man who allegedly killed his girlfriend again slapped the law in the face when he committed suicide by hanging himself.

Police in Elmina found Emmanuel Kwakye hanging on a tree at the Bronyibima M/ A Basic school on Tuesday.

A friend of the deceased on Monday, September 21, had reported to the UCC police station that his friend was missing.

According to him, he called his friend several times but his phone was off, Joy News reported.

The complainant, who was from Akotokyir, subsequently, visited the residence of Kwakye at Kakumdo to find out what had happened to him.

But he met the unexpected.

Instead, he saw the lifeless body of the lady in the unlocked room.

The matter was reported to the police who went to the scene and found the body of the lady identified as Georgina Sayel and believed to be Kwakye’s girlfriend.

An examination of the body of Georgina revealed a deep stab wound on her left rib with her brassier and dress soaked in blood.

A blood-stained kitchen knife was found in the room when further checks were conducted.

Some residents told JoyNews the 45-year-old was a teacher and owned two taxis.

They explained that he has been in a relationship with Georgina who had just completed the College of Education in Cape Coast.

Preliminary investigations by the police revealed that the deceased man is suspected to have killed his girlfriend before taking his own life.

The body of Georgina has since been deposited at the Cape Coast Teaching Hospital mortuary pending an autopsy.

The University of Cape Coast Police station is investigating the case.
