Couple commits suicide after 31st December night Church service

GHANA – A man and his wife have allegedly committed suicide in their room after 31st December, 2019 night church service.

The couple were found dead shortly after returning from the New Year Eve’s Watch Night church service.

The couple together with their four children reportedly attended the church service and returned home, but around 2:00 am their six-year-old child woke up only to see that her mother named Sister Afua Atta had been stabbed with a knife to death on their bed while her father was also hanging from the ceiling of the room.

“Upon reaching the room, we were shocked when we saw that the women had been stabbed with a knife several times with a lot of blood spilled in the room. The man also used Jeans trousers to hand himself on the ceiling. We don’t know what pushed them to take their lives.” a resident told Kasapa News.

The bodies have been deposited at the Elmina Mortuary while police begin investigations into the matter.
