A young lady believed to be in her mid-twenties has allegedly hanged her five year old son and later hanged herself. The incident occurred in an uncompleted building at‘Adwen Amba Ntsem’, near Ajoa, a fishing community in the Ahanta West Municipality.
It is not known why the young lady, whose identity is not known, decided to end her life together with her son.
But information available indicated that the lady and the son, who do not hail from the community, were on Tuesday, this week, spotted at Ajoa community begging for alms.
The next morning, news went round the community that the lady and her son had committed suicide.
A resident in the Ajoa community told this reporter that the lady might have struggled before allegedly hanging her son, because the hands of the boy was seen tied with a rope.
At the crime scene, the resident said the lady used a rope hanged to one of the beams on top of the uncompleted building to hang the son and herself.
The Police have since gone to the scene to take the two bodies to the morgue.
