Two persons
believed to have committed suicide have been seen in Bamenda. While the first
was seen around the Cammark store at Mancho Street in Bamenda III Subdivision
Wednesday December 20 another appeared this Thursday December 21, 2017 in the
premises of All Saints Catholic Mission Bayelle.
The nature
of the supposed corpses believed to have committed suicide leave more questions
than answers. Talking to the Guardian Post an early witness of the Mancho
Street case told this reporter that they only got up to see the person hanging
and no one has been able to identify him in the neighborhood. “Why this man
came spoil we quarter, this man no be man for here” Che Leonard said.
“I was
passing to the market when I saw this man hanging beside the cemetery behind
the hall and then I call some people but no one identified him. Many people
have been coming here and looking since I came back from the market. This is my
house” (pointing at a building very close to the church premises.)
With very
little or no signs of struggle, closed eyes, no tongue out and the nature of
the tied robes around their necks, onlookers believed something fishy must have
happened.
With the intervention
of the judicial police and the City Council, the corpses have been deposited at
the Bamenda regional hospital mortuary pending identification and collection
while investigations have been opened.
North West
regional delegate for National Security has not made a statement on the issue
but has been on the ground with elements for enquiry.
