It’s not yet clear what drove the 12 -year -old boy to end his life, however; close neighbours who spoke on condition of anonymity disclosed that the home has lots of issues and problems and that the father of the deceased poisoned himself when his wife Joyce Apai was two months pregnant with the pregnancy of the deceased.

Police examined the body of deceased and confirmed that he had committed suicide, as there were no clues that the deceased had been murdered. After the examination, the body was handed over back to the family of the deceased.
