Police at Suame in the Ashanti Region launched a manhunt for the suspect who allegedly stabbed his friend to death on Wednesday, October 13.

Victim, identified as Ebenezer Asare, 23, died shortly after he was rushed to the hospital following the incident which began as a brawl that ensued between the two.

Eyewitness say “after the short brawl, the suspect went home and returned with a sharp object and stabbed the victim twice at the neck. He bled profusely whilst we rushed him to the hospital but few minutes after we arrived he gave up the ghost”.
