Three teenage girls are currently in police custody for their alleged involvement in the fatal stabbing of 16-year-old Dennis Owusu Ansah, a recent Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduate who was set to start school on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
The tragic incident took place on Monday night around 7:30 p.m. in Anloga, Ashanti Region, following a confrontation between Dennis and one of the girls as they were escorting a friend home.
Eyewitnesses reported that during the argument, one of the girls pulled out a knife and stabbed Dennis in the rib, leading to severe bleeding.
Despite being rushed to the hospital, Dennis was pronounced dead upon arrival. His family is grappling with shock and grief over the sudden loss of their son.
His mother, Stella Frimpong, expressed her devastation, urging authorities to ensure justice is served. “We went to Tweneboa Kodua (SHS) on Saturday, and we were told to report on Thursday. So, I beg, the child has indeed passed, so please authorities should ensure that justice is served,” she said.
Dennis's brother, Evans Owusu Ansah, echoed the call for justice, emphasizing the gravity of the situation. “What we the family require is that the government assist and ensure that justice is served because you can’t kill a boy just like that. For a child of 15 years, you can’t just stab someone’s child. The government must ensure the right thing is done. I am surprised a child of her age could do such a thing,” he stated.
The family is now seeking accountability as the investigation unfolds, hoping for a swift resolution to this heartbreaking incident.
