Police have arrested a final-year student at the O’Reilly Senior High School (SHS) for allegedly stabbing his colleague, Edward Borketey Sackey, to death.
The family of the deceased, a final-year General Arts student at O’Reilly Senior High School in Accra, staged a protest at the school premises demanding justice for their deceased relative following the incident which occurred shortly after the 18-year-old completed a morning exam.
The family accused the school authorities of being careless.

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.
