A form two student of the Konongo Odumasi Senior High School met his untimely death when he was stabbed last week.
The deceased, Gabriel Ntim, together with two of his schoolmates, was confronted by 15 gangsters in front of a shop near the Baba Yara Stadium, where they were seeking shelter from a rainstorm.
The students, who were participating in the just-ended Super Zonal Athletics Competition involving senior high schools in the Ashanti Region, were alleged to have been ordered by the gangsters, who had disguised themselves with black headgear, to surrender all items on them.
Just as the deceased was about to hand over his bag and its contents to the gang, one of the gangsters pulled a knife and stabbed him in the chest.
When the police arrived at the crime scene after the other two students had called for help, the gangsters had vanished from the scene with the deceased's bag and mobile phone.
Ntim reportedly died before he could receive medical care at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where he was rushed to by the police.
The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, ACP Seth Charles Oteng, who confirmed the story, said that no arrests had been made but gave the assurance that the police had intensified their investigations.
He said an autopsy on the deceased revealed that he died as a result of excessive bleeding.
He appealed to members of the public to assist the police in their investigations for the arrest of the gangsters.
