A heartbreaking incident occurred in the Abuakwa-North District of the Eastern Region, where an 18-year-old student from New Nsutam Senior High Technical School lost her life in an alleged stabbing incident involving her boyfriend.
The victim, identified as Abigail Asare, a second-year student at the school and a resident of Accra, visited her boyfriend, Emeka, who is reportedly of Togolese descent, on the morning of Friday, June 2, 2023. This visit took place shortly after Abigail had left school for the mid-term holidays, which commenced on Friday.
According to reports, Emeka abruptly left the shop where they had met, leaving Abigail behind. A short time later, a customer who arrived at the shop for a haircut discovered Abigail’s lifeless body on the floor, with blood surrounding her from apparent knife wounds.
Alarmed by the devastating sight, the eyewitness immediately notified the Akyem-Nsutem police, who then informed the Kyebi police. Responding promptly, officers from the Kyebi Divisional Police Command arrived at the scene.
The police have transported the deceased student’s body to the Kyebi Government Hospital, where it will undergo preservation and autopsy procedures as investigations into the incident unfold.
Meanwhile, the suspect has fled the community, and a search of his residence yielded no results. Authorities are currently working to locate and apprehend him.
The specific events that transpired between Abigail and Emeka inside the shop, leading to the alleged stabbing, remain unclear at this time.
