A 9-year-old boy has committed suicide at Koforidua Asokore in the New-Juaben Municipal District of the Eastern Region of Ghana.

According to an eyewitness, the deceased, Frimpong Agyei Kofi, committed the act after he refused a directive from her mother to buy bread at a nearby shop.

Young Kofi angrily entered the room and unknowingly committed suicide with the sponge he used to bath with.

After Kofi had kept long in the room, his mother asked the little brother of the deceased to check up on him.

He (little brother) returned to report that Kofi had defecated on himself which made the mother suspicious and rushed into the room to verify the report, only to meet the lifeless Body of Kofi.

Kofi’s father, Eric Frimpong, was quickly contacted and informed of what has happened.

It is a mystery to his parents and many as to what prompted him (Kofi) to take his own life.

The Eastern Regional Police Command has confirmed the sad incident indicating that the body has been sent to the St. Joseph’s Hospital.
