Residents of Achiase, near Aboso in the Prestea Huni Valley Municipality of the Western Region, have been left shocked following the alleged stabbing death of a man identified as Augustine Boah.
Boah is reported to have been stabbed with a pair of scissors by 24-year-old Kofi Yena, also known as “Pogba”, following a disagreement believed to be linked to a land dispute between the two families.
According to reports, tensions had been building between the families after Yena allegedly warned the deceased’s son against passing behind their house with his tricycle.
The disagreement reportedly escalated on Wednesday when Boah and Yena confronted each other over the matter.
Yena allegedly attacked Boah with a pair of scissors during the confrontation, leaving him with injuries that later proved fatal.
The suspect has since been arrested and is currently in police custody as investigations continue.
Meanwhile, the body of Augustine Boah has been deposited at the morgue of the Tarkwa Municipal Hospital pending further procedures.
The deceased’s son and daughter have also spoken to our reporters about the incident and shared their account of what happened.
