Baramita youth allegedly kills self after row with reputed wife

The lifeless body of a young father of two was found hanging with a rope tied around his neck hours after a row with his reputed wife on Sunday.

Dead: Johnny Henry

Dead is 24-year-old Johnny Henry of Baramita. He was discovered by his mother at about 16:00h about half a mile from his house. It is believed that he committed suicide after a confrontation with the mother of his two children hours before the discovery.
His reputed wife reportedly left the home about three weeks ago and despite him asking her to return, she refused.
However, he reportedly went to her again on Sunday and after she refused, he was seen running in the bushes. Out of concern, his mother went in search of her son only to find him handing from a tree. Investigations are ongoing.
