A 19-year-old girl has found herself in the grips of the law after allegedly stabbing her boyfriend to death. The suspect, Elizabeth Ackah, together with her sister, Rose Ackah, 22, was said to have stormed the house of Kenneth Boakye Ansah, 32, an engineer with Mantrac, on Tuesday night to fight him when the unfortunate incident happened.
The incident occurred during the black out that enveloped Accra that night. The two suspects have consequently been arrested and detained at the Kaneshie Police Station, whilst the body of Kenneth Boakye Ansah has been deposited at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital morgue, awaiting autopsy. Elizabeth stormed her boyfriend’s house with kerosene and water to possibly cause havoc after he allegedly truncated their five-mouth relationship.
The suspect allegedly confronted Kenneth Ansah, the deceased, at a drinking spot and picked a fight with him.
Kenneth, embarrassed by the actions of the suspect, left the spot and drove home, but was chased to the house by the suspect. Elizabeth Ackah allegedly called her sister Rose Ackah from Dansoman to the boyfriend’s house, where they were still fighting. According to sources, Kenneth then picked up a knife, possibly to scare the girlfriend, but he was overpowered and his own weapon used to stab him in the thigh as the struggle came to a head.
Eyewitnesses told Daily Guide that they hard a scream for help, and when they got to the scene Kenneth Ansah was lying in a pool of blood. He allegedly died shortly on arrival at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital. Narrating the incident to Daily Guide, the suspect indicated that the victim, after their five-month relationship and after having convinced her to have an abortion, truncated the relationship also at a time she detected he was having an affair with another girl.
“He had been cheating on me for the past months after the abortion, and when I realized and confronted him he told me it was over”. She said when she went to her boyfriend’s house, he asked his sister to beat her up and throw her out, but she managed to enter his room. “Kenneth, after hitting my head on the wall several times, then went for a knife to threaten me to leave his house, and during the course of the struggle I overpowered him and unfortunately the knife stabbed him on the thigh”.
Elizabeth continued, “I did not even know that the knife had stabbed him because the lights were off. “People then rushed to the scene to carry him to hospital, where unfortunately he died later”. The Kaneshie Divisional Commander, Chief Superintendant Michael Kporcuse Avadedsi, who confirmed the story, described the incident as pathetic, as a life had been lost in the process.
He said investigations were on-going to ascertain the truth. The two sisters will consequently be arraigned before court soon.
