An 18-year-old student from O’Reilly Senior High School in Accra has reportedly been stabbed by a colleague over an argument on whose father is richer.
The victim, a final year Visual Arts student, has been identified as Edward Borketey Sackey.
The suspect has also been identified as Godwin.
Videos and photos shared on social media shows the victim in an unconscious posture lying on a white cloth on the floor.
Other videos show the victim being conveyed to the hospital by his colleagues.
According to Accra-based 3News, Edward was stabbed three times in the chest over an argument over who was richer.
“The whole thing was about you what do you have? I have this and that, you’re lying. That was what brought the fight. So, I thought the whole thing was nothing.”
The deceased’s cousin further explained that she was approached by Godwin later with a caution that she warn her “brother or else his blood will flow.”
At this point, the deceased had reportedly run to some teachers but they “did not do anything.”
She rushed to her uncle’s shop near the school to report the development. Her uncle was unavailable.
Sadly, on her return, Edward was covered in blood after he was allegedly stabbed by Godwin.
He was subsequently pronounced dead at the hospital.
