A 60-YEAR-OLD man, Samuel Bedzrah, met his untimely death when he was stabbed after separating a fight between a brother and a sister at Balve, a surburb of Hohoe, last Friday.
Daniel Kumassah, 24, alias Daniel Ketorwu, who allegedly stabbed Bedzrah is in the grips of the Hohoe Police.
According to Superintendent Anthony Darkeh, Hohoe Divisional Crime Officer, at about 10am on Friday July 25, 2008, there was a misunderstanding between Kumassah and his sister, Felicia.
Due to the misunderstanding his sister decided to leave the house, but Kumassah followed her with the intention to beat her up.
This attracted a lot of people to the scene and Bedzrah, who came to the scene was able to ease the anger of the suspect and took him to his house to cool down tempers.
Unknowingly to Bedzrah, Kumassah was still annoyed and on reaching the house, he (Kumassah) rushed to the room, brought out a double edged knife, kicked the old man down, stabbed him in the left rib with the knife and took to his heels.
Bedzrah was rushed to the Hohoe Municipal Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.
Kumassah was arrested at Gbi-Godenu and brought to the Hohoe Police Station for further investigations.
