“I was home when a farmer came to inform me that he has spotted a dead body in his rubber farm. We followed him to the farm and realized the young man has committed suicide by hanging on one of the rubber trees. We informed the police and they came for the dead body which had already decomposed.
“The information we have is that he has been complaining about the attitude of his girlfriend for some time now. He has been complaining to his friends that after spending on the lady, she has jilted him for another man. He has been telling his friends about his plans to commit suicide because of the lady but nobody took him seriously until his lifeless body was found hanging on the tree,” 3fm.com quotes Nana Kofi as saying.
It is reported that the young man was working for a manufacturing company before his disappearance and subsequent death.
“We are told he works with Wang Kang Company in Eshiem but for the past five days, he has been missing. All efforts to look for him have proven unsuccessful until we heard he has committed suicide by hanging in the bush,” Assembly member for the area, Armstrong Arthur said.
He expressed confidence in the ongoing police investigation to unravel the truth surrounding Clement’s death.
