A man in his late 40s has allegedly committed suicide while in police custody.

What actually triggered his action is unknown, however, police sources say his lifeless body was found hanging from the iron bar at the vent of the cell washroom.

This is after the 48-year-old was invited by the police on Tuesday, August 2, 2022, and detained at the Kyeremasu Police Station for offences of alleged threat of harm and assault.

When his body was found, he had tied his neck with a nylon singlet he wore while in custody.

“An officer on duty at the counter saw the lifeless body hanging and the attention of other colleagues were drawn to the unfortunate incident,” the source said.

The body of Kyere has since been deposited at the Presbyterian Hospital morgue at Kyeremasu for autopsy and preservation.

As a result of the unfortunate incident, the youth from the town suspecting foul play has called on the Inspector General of Police Dr George Akuffo Dampare to take interest in the case in order to unearth truth about the incident.
