Boy, 12, allegedly hangs himself at Opeikuma

A twelve-year-old boy has allegedly committed suicide by hanging at Opeikuma in the Awutu Senya East District of the Central Region.

In an interview, the mother of the deceased, Esi Akos who said she doubts her son will take his life said she suspects someone might have killed her son and hanged him there.

She therefore called on the police to conduct investigation into the matter.

The body has been since deposited at Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital Mortuary for autopsy and preservation.

Investigations have commenced into the natter.
