Williams Kyere, the father of a 14-year-old student who allegedly committed suicide at the Miracle Educational Academy Junior High School in Sunyani in the Bono Region, says he suspects the school authorities.

Speaking in an interview on UTV Ghana News, Kyere insisted that his daughter was slain and hanged to conceal the killing.

''My daughter is called Leticia Kyere Pinaman. She's 14 years old and will be clocking 15 this coming November 8. She's in her final year in junior high school,'' he said.

He added: ''I was surprised when I was told that my daughter had committed suicide ... The rope they claim she used in hanging herself to death cannot kill her because when I went to the scene, she stood on her toes; that means it was a ploy and I suspect the school authorities.''

He wondered why students in the school always went for dining before converging for Bible studies in the school's church auditorium, but on the day his daughter allegedly committed suicide, the school gathered for Bible studies before dining.

''There's a lot of question to answer,'' he said.

Following Kyere Pinaman's alleged suicide act, the housemistress of the school, Madam Gifty Acheampong, claimed the deceased left a note on a table that reads: "I am not happy, this world is full of sorrow and pain, I can’t live anymore and I want to die.''

She said the note had been taken by the police to compare with the deceased's handwriting.

The Sunyani Division Crime Officer, DSP Kingsley Wiredu, confirmed the incident and explained that they were conducting an investigation into the matter and would get back to the public when the investigation is concluded.

Meanwhile, the remains of the deceased have been deposited at the Sunyani Municipal Hospital Morgue pending an autopsy.
