A first year student of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), has hanged herself to death.
The 18 -year old chemical engineering student who is said to be the daughter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Asante Akyem Central Constituency was found dead on Friday morning in her hostel with a rope hanging her neck.
It is unclear what might have triggered the suicide but sources at KNUST campus say she failed one of her courses and couldn’t bear the shame hence the suicide.
A note the deceased left behind states ‘am sorry to disappoint you mummy and daddy’.
According to sources, the school authorities have informed the family about the incident where messengers were sent to Parliament in Accra to also inform the father.
The body has been deposited at KNUST hospital in Kumasi.
