OWASS Student Stabbed to Death
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.
