The late Mr. Sakyi, who was a poultry farmer wrote a letter before hanging himself in his home.

In his letter, he indicated he owe a company that help poultry farmers a sum of GHC 21,000. Mr. Sakyi who before his death believed he will not be able to pay the huge sum of money decided to end his life because he won’t be able to handle the way those he owe will treat him.

Reports gathered indicate the man was with his wife on their farm on the day of the incident. He told his wife he is going home to get some stuff and attend a funeral.

His family were on the farm when they were told Mr. Sakyi has been found dead by their neighbours.
