A level 300 ICT student from the University of Education, Winneba, has committed suicide by hanging at her hostel in Winneba.

According to a UTV new report, the deceased student whose name is given as Rita Anane, reading Information Communication Technology (ICT) at the university, hanged herself at her hostel.

While details and the circumstances surrounding the alleged suicide are limited, the report noted that her friends discovered her lifeless body with a rope around her neck during a visit.
