A thirty-five-year old Somali man hanged himself and was found dead on Wednesday morning on a tree near Kor-Bow Bridge opposite El Sabbah Children Hospital in Juba.
One of the eye witnesses who stayed with the deceased said the late Samuel Abedi wrote a letter indicating that he had problems with his wife.
Police Spokesperson Colonel James Monday Enoka confirmed that the deceased committed suicide last night.
He said the body was taken for post-mortem and further investigation so that his relatives get death certificate.
Colonel Monday clarified that when somebody attempts suicide he would be jailed for a period not less than one year because suicide was a crime and not the only way of resolving problems.
He warned that committing suicide was not accepted by the law and in all religious beliefs.
The Police spokesperson said suicide case would not be taken for granted.
