The body of Jerry Amoah was found
hanging on a mango tree on Tuesday April 30, 2013.The driver hanged himself
over what he explained in a suicide note, written behind a photograph of the
young lady, attributing his decision to end his life to an alleged failed love
relationship with the 20-year old SHS student.
A
SENIOR High School (SHS)
form-two student of an Nsawam private school (name
withheld) has told DAILY GUIDE in
an exclusive interview that it will be wrong to accuse her of the death of her
lover, a 30-year-old trotro driver and resident of Gbetsile near Afienya.
According to the school girl, she could not have been the cause of Jerry
Amoah's death, especially when they had entered into a blood covenant,
indicating that it came as a surprise to her that he committed suicide because
of her.
A search conducted on the
deceased revealed a photograph of the unnamed SHS student concealed between his
chest and a singlet he wore before committing the abominable act.
The suicide note on the back of
the photograph was allegedly written by the jilted driver, and it clearly
explained the reason for his action.
Even though he did not mention
her name, he clearly indicated that he was broken hearted by the news of her
leaving him.
Perhaps not being able to
withstand the fact that she had left him, he allegedly sneaked from his house
at dawn and went to the scene to hang himself.
His death, according to the
police, had surprised his family, as he had shown no sign of experiencing any
relationship problems prior to his death.
His mother and brother, according
to police, did not even know the said lady.
Lover Girl
Narrating her side of the story to DAILY GUIDE on phone, she said she got to know the deceased through a social network, Facebook, about eight months ago.

'Initially we were friends until
one day when he proposed to me. He had earlier explained to me that he
was dating a Nigerian girl who travelled to her country without
informing him, so when she came back, he declined to accept her. He had been a
good friend so when he proposed I accepted his proposal and became his
girlfriend until his untimely death last Tuesday,' the SHS girl said.
According to her, even though the
deceased had persistently refused to send her to his house to meet his family,
she made him meet her mother a couple of times and quickly added that her
mother was aware of her relationship with him.
She mentioned that his death had
been devastating for her and her mother over the last few days, as she had not
been able to eat or sleep.
'It is like a dream to me
that he ended his life because he thought I had another boyfriend apart from
him,' she agonized.
Refusing to accept that she might
have indirectly caused his death, she noted that prior to his death, Amoah
called her and insisted that she moved in with him at his place at Gbetsile
instead of staying with her uncle at Teshie.
Phone Calls
She said she explained to him that her uncle was away at work and pleaded with him to allow her sometime to convince the uncle to grant her the permission to go and stay with him.

'He warned that if I could not
give him an answer by Tuesday, April 30, 2013, then I should not try to call
him again as he would not pick up my phone calls.
True to his words, he declined to answer my calls on Tuesday. It came as a huge
surprise to me when the news of his death reached me later that day. I just
can't believe he did that,' she noted.
She described him as a caring
person who occasionally supported her with school fees
and provisions and sometimes gave her money for her upkeep.
Blood Covenant
Sounding very emotional, she said even though she was against the idea of making a blood covenant with him, she did it to convince him that she loved him.

'We went to a fetish priest
somewhere in Ashaiman where we both did this blood covenant in the presence of
the fetish priest. I know it was wrong for me to have done that but I did it to
let him know how much I loved him,' she stated.
She also told DAILY GUIDE that even though she
had never been to his house before, she had spent some days with him in a hotel in
Ashaiman a couple of times.
She revealed that she might
remain single for the rest of her life, as her previous relationships with men
had not been the best
