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.
According to Edward’s cousin the fight resulted from an altercation over an issue explaining that “we heard some noise at the back and we asked what’s wrong and they said it's Godwin and Edward fighting."
"I asked what’s the fight about and they said it was nothing serious."
“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 ran to some teachers but they “did not do anything.”
This prompted her to rush 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.
Reports say Edward was stabbed three times in the chest.
