According to reports, the suspect reportedly stabbed the deceased, a 47-year-old man known only as Efo, with a knife, resulting in his tragic death.
The incident occurred on Sunday, December 24, 2023.
The Assemblywoman for New Sekyire Electoral Area, Joyce Osei Assibey, confirming the incident, said that the suspect confronted his friend at the deceased’s house in a bid to fight.
The deceased, after persuading the suspect to stop fighting, decided to escort him out.
However, the suspect allegedly stabbed him with a concealed knife he had in his pocket.
