THE Gambaga District Police in the East Mamprusi District of the Northern Region are conducting investigations into the circumstances under which a 23-year-old farmer is alleged to have shot and killed himself.
The deceased, Baba Ayariga, was found dead in a pool of blood by a search party a day after the shocking incident. The deceased has since been buried.
A post-mortem examination conducted at the Baptist Medical Centre at Nalerigu has indicated that Ayariga died as a result of gunshot wounds he sustained on the base of the neck.
According to the Northern Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Inspector Albert Johnson, the incident occurred on June 21, this year at Gambaga.
He said the deceased left home with his locally manufactured gun for the farm on that fateful day but never returned home. Inspector Johnson said the family, who became alarmed, then organised a search party for him which found his body on a rock in a farm the next day with the gun lying by him. The incident was later reported to the police in the area.
“At the crime scene, the body was carefully examined by our men but there was no sign of struggle,” the PRO stated.
In a related development, a motor rider, Danjumah Tia, died instantly when he fell off his motorbike in an accident on the Walewale-Gambaga road.
According to Inspector Johnson, the deceased might have lost control of the motorbike, with registration number UE 2583 X, as there was no evidence of him hitting any object at the accident scene.
The cause of death after a post-mortem examination at the Nalerigu Baptist Medical Centre indicated that the deceased, who has since been buried, suffered from close head trauma.
