The Police Spokesperson said the suspect was released by the Police after they considered the case to be a suicide.

“The father of the late Fatou Drammeh, the 17-year-old student who fell from the third floor of a storey building in Latrikunda Sabaji has been discharged by the police,” the police spokesperson told Foroyaa.

He said the police have considered the matter to be a suicide case instead of murder.
