Information reaching the Eastern File reveals that a 22 year old young man, Joseph Mawuli of the Suhum municipality, hung himself in the early hours of last Thursday.
Confirming the story to the paper, the Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the Eastern Regional Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Yaw Nketia-Yeboah, said his office had immediately launched investigations to unravel the circumstance that led to the death of the man.
Briefing the paper further, he said the police had information about the untimely death of Mawuli, but information leading to his death was very little, compelling the police to commence investigations.
When asked if the victim might have committed suicide, he averred that the situation cannot be described as suicide until the police complete their investigations.
The body of the late Mawuli has since been taken to the Suhum Government Hospital morgue and is awaiting autopsy to clearly establish the cause of death.
In a related development, the police in Tarkwa in the Western Region have retrieved a Nissan Sentra taxi cab from suspected car-snatchers.
Making this known through the Eastern Regional Police Public Affairs Unit, the PRO said the yellow and ash taxi cab was intercepted on Thursday July 11, this year, in Tarkwa.
The side address and registration number of the cab had been tampered with, making identification difficult.
Victims and owners of the said vehicle have, therefore, been asked to contact the Tarkwa District Police Command with valid documents for investigation and collection.
