THE body of a man, believed to be in his 70s, has been found hanging from the pillar of a wall in a compound house at Timber Market, a suburb of Koforidua, in a case suspected to be suicide.
This comes less than a week after another case in which a popular businesswoman in Koforidua was allegedly murdered by a spiritualist in the town.
In the latest incident which occurred about 5.30 am yesterday, the body of Mumuni Zakaria, who lived in the house at Timber Market, was found by family members and neighbours with a rope around his neck in an open place where, according to his neighbours, the deceased used to pray.
A large crowd gathered at the scene to catch a glimpse of the deceased, whom many described as “a decent and quiet fellow”.
Grief-stricken relatives who spoke to the Daily Graphic indicated that the deceased, who had two elderly children, looked healthy and sound prior to his death.
According to them, he had spent time with them the whole of Thursday.
“We fed him just last night, after which we parted, until 5.30 a.m. when we found him hanging dead by a wall where he used to pray,” a 21-year-old niece of the deceased said.
