A young woman has committed suicide at Ajoa, a community in the Western Region of Ghana.

Before taking her own life, she hanged her son.

What caused her to take her life and that of her son is unknown at the time of filing this report.

However, eyewitnesses who spoke with the Ghanaian media stated that they met the lifeless bodies of both mother and son in the early morning of Wednesday, January 18, 2023.

An eyewitness, Nana Yaw, narrated: “We came to work in the building as labourers and saw the lifeless body of the lady and her son when we got there.

“She could be in her early twenties whilst her son would be around four years. We don’t know where they come from and we don’t know any of their family members. They are still there on the ropes."

Images indicate that, the young mother is seen hanged whilst her son’s hand is tied with a rope in a sad situation.

The assembly member for Ajoa community, Robert James Yankey added, “Information I have gathered is that residents around the community saw the young lady begging for money with her son yesterday around 4:00pm.

"Nobody saw them again until this morning when we saw them dead in the uncompleted building.

"We do not know her in this community so we believe she came from somewhere else."
