E/R : Teacher Commits Suicide Over Hardship

A teacher has allegedly committed suicide by hanging himself with a piece of cloth at Tinkong in the Akuapem North Municipality in the Eastern Region. The incident occurred Sunday afternoon. The body of the deceased identified as John Atta Asamoah Duodu (a twin) alias O Level has been conveyed by the Adawso police to the

morgue for preservation and autopsy. The deceased did not leave behind any note stating reasons for his action. However, information indicates that he was allegedly deceived to take a loan to invest in an online network marketing business which turned out to be a scam. He incessantly complained of hardship as a result of the

huge deduction of his monthly salary also. His brother Benjamin Boateng also said apart from the fact that he complained that he only takes home Gh 500 cedis after the deduction of his loan. He was hallucinating too so it seems there were evil forces too haunting him. Samuel Abokyi Assembly Member for Tinkong Electoral Area

said it is true. Yesterday we had a big funeral at Tinkong while at the funeral we had information that someone has committed suicide later the Police called me that the family too had reported so I went there and the body was conveyed to morgue. He hanged himself with piece of cloth in a room.
