A piece of sad news has emerged from Kwamikrom, near Aboadi, in the Ahanta West Municipality of the Western Region.
It is about one 19-year-old Richard Baako who allegedly got stabbed by another teenager over a loaf of bread.
The sad event happened at the back of a heated argument between the deceased and another teenager (name withheld) whiles they were fighting over a loaf of bread.
Narrating the story to the Ghanaian Times, the Assemblyman for Aboadi Fasis, Osagyefo Stephen Rowell, explained that last Friday night, the suspect together with four other boys from Nkwantaesia, went on a snail hunting expedition.
He said on reaching Kwamikrom at about 11 pm, the boys became hungry and decided to buy ¢4.00 worth of bread and began cutting it with a knife they used for the hunting.
Suddenly, Mr. Rowell said, the deceased appeared at the scene and complained that the boys were using a rusted knife in cutting the bread, but they (hunters) replied the knife belonged to them.
“This resulted in a scuffle and both fell on the ground. In the process, the knife of the suspect allegedly stabbed the deceased (Baako) in the chest, and he died on the spot,” he added.
The body of the deceased has been deposited at Dr. Mensah’s Mortuary at New Amanful, near Apowa, whilst the suspect has been detained at the Agona Nkwanta Police Station for questioning.
