A final-year student of O'Reilly Senior High School was stabbed to death by his mate on Monday, September 2.
The victim, 18-year-old Edward Borketey Sackey, was a student in the school's General Arts Department.
The incident occurred on campus after a fight broke out between Edward and a fellow student from the Visual Arts Department named Godwin, shortly after the deceased had finished writing an exam.
Edward’s cousin narrated that the fight resulted from an altercation over an issue explaining that “we heard some noise at the back and we asked what’s wrong and they said it's Godwin and Edward fighting."
"I asked what’s the fight about and they said it was nothing serious."
According to Accra-based 3News, Edward was stabbed three times in the chest over an argument over who was richer.
“The whole thing was about you what do you have? I have this and that, you’re lying. That was what brought the fight. So, I thought the whole thing was nothing."
The deceased’s cousin further explained that she was approached by Godwin later with a caution that she warn her “brother or else his blood will flow.”
At this point, the deceased had reportedly run to some teachers but they “did not do anything.”
She rushed to her uncle’s shop near the school to report the development. Her uncle was unavailable.
Sadly, on her return, Edward was covered in blood after he was allegedly stabbed by Godwin.
He was subsequently pronounced dead at the hospital.
