AN eighteen-year-old Senior High School
student of Opoku Ware Senior High School in
the Ashanti Region was yesterday stabbed to
death following a confrontation between two
men over a lover.
The deceased, identified as Isaac Kwesi
Amponsah, according to an eyewitness
account, was trying to separate the two men
who were fighting when one of them stabbed
him in the process.
The two men, identified as Justice Abban and
Frank Kwabena, aka Taller, 43, were fighting
over a woman at Olebu in the Ga West
Municipality.
Suspect Justice Abban, who allegedly pulled
the knife to stab the schoolboy, according to
the eyewitness account, was severely beaten
by some neighbours before he was handed
over to the police.
He is currently receiving treatment at the
Police Hospital under heavy security.
The eyewitness indicated that the incident
occurred around 7:30am yesterday morning.
The woman the two were allegedly fighting
over is currently at large and is yet to be
identified.
According to DAILY GUIDE’s source, the
woman was in a relationship with Justice
Abban for some years and they had a child.
Early this year, the woman allegedly travelled
to her hometown and upon her return, broke up
with Justice and decided to move in with
suspect Frank Kwabena Owusu, her new lover.
This did not go down well with suspect Abban
and so he often fought Frank over the issue.
Around 7am yesterday, suspect Justice Abban,
armed with a knife, asked two of his friends—
Samuel Offei aka Okotor, 42, and Solomon
Agyeman, 43—to escort him to the house of
Frank Owusu to attack him.
On arrival at suspect Frank’s house, the
witness said, Frank was not in the house but
he was called back to the house by suspect
Abban.
Fight
When Frank returned, suspect Abban
immediately picked a fight with him and so
some neighbours, including Amponsah, a friend
to Frank who lived with the mother behind
Frank’s house, upon hearing the noise, came to
separate the two rivals.
In the course of the separation, suspect Abban
pulled the knife and stabbed Isaac Amponsah
in the neck.
The witness said Isaac Amponsah, after the
attack, attempted to run away from the scene
but suspect Abban pursued him and stabbed
him again in the middle of the street.
The victim then fell on the ground and died on
the spot.
After committing the act, suspect Abban
attempted to run away but residents chased
and apprehended him. They then subjected him
to severe beatings before handing him over to
the police.
Later, personnel of the Police Crime Scene and
the Amasaman District Police Command visited
the scene to pick up the body of Isaac
Amponsah to the Police Hospital morgue for
preservation.
Arrest
The Amasaman District Crime Officer, DSP
Happy Addai, when contacted, said police
investigations led to the arrest of suspect
Samuel Offei (Abban’s friend) and Frank
Owusu, one of the rivals, to assist them to
investigate the matter.
Concerning the woman, the Amasaman District
Police Crime Officer said she was also on the
run and had been declared wanted.
The matter is still under investigation.
