This afternoon news was received from Koforidua-Asokore in the New Juabeng North Assembly.
A 9-year-old boy, identified as Frimpong Agyei has committed suicide after his mother denied him food.
According to Peacefm’s reporter Micheal Akrofi, the mother sent her son on an errand to get bread from a friend but the child angrily declined because he was hungry and the mother denied him food.

In a police report concerning this sad news, the deceased hanged himself in his room with a sponge tied on a long crossbar in the room.
The police are on investigations to bring out their findings. The body has been taken to St Joseph Hospital Morgue.
