A Level 400 student of the University of Ghana jumped to her death at the university at dawn yesterday, and her parents have attributed the demise of their daughter to a mental disorder she had suffered for the past five years.
The deceased, Jennifer Nyarko, 23, was an Agriculture and Consumer Science student of the university.
She is said to have fallen from the fourth floor of the Akuafo Hall Annex A and was found by a student who was on her way to pray.
The passer-by, who found the victim lying motionless in a pool of blood, raised an alarm which attracted other students who were either sleeping or getting ready for lectures in the early hours of the day.
Police called
Confirming the incident to the Daily Graphic, the Legon District Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP), Mr Emmanuel Ofori Anokye, said the victim was pronounced dead at the Legon Hospital.
He said the police received distress phone calls about the incident around 5 a.m., and a team of policemen was immediately despatched to the scene.
