A 38-year-old headteacher at Apaaso Basic School in Adwira Sekyeredumase Municipality, Ashanti Region, Ernest Atta Kyei, has allegedly committed suicide just days before his scheduled wedding.

The tragic incident occurred in his room at around 9 pm on August 1, 2023, where he was found hanging on a bar with his sponge.

Alongside the suicide note, traces of liquids suspected to be poison were found on the floor.

The note read, "I can no longer live on this earth any longer. Don't blame anyone. Take care of my son for me, this is my father's number."

The reason behind the teacher's decision to take his own life remains unknown.

A colleague mentioned that a few days before, Mr Kyei had confided in him about having a problem, but he did not provide further details.

The deceased also expressed that GHC 7,000, intended for his wedding expenses, had gone missing.

As the investigation unfolds, the body has been taken to the morgue for further examination.

The community mourns the loss of the headteacher and seeks answers to the tragic event.
