Student
stabbed to death.
A form two student of the Konongo Odumasi Senior High
School met his untimely death when he was stabbed last
week.
The deceased, Gabriel Ntim, together with two of his
schoolmates, was confronted by 15 gangsters in front of
a shop near the Baba Yara Stadium, where they were
seeking shelter from a rainstorm.
The students, who were participating in the just-ended
Super Zonal Athletics Competition involving senior high
schools in the Ashanti Region, were alleged to have been
ordered by the gangsters, who had disguised themselves
with black headgear, to surrender all items on them.
Just as the deceased was about to hand over his bag and
its contents to the gang, one of the gangsters pulled a
knife and stabbed him in the chest.
When the police arrived at the crime scene after the
other two students had called for help, the gangsters
had vanished from the scene with the deceased's bag and
mobile phone.
Ntim reportedly died before he could receive medical
care at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital where he was
rushed to by the police.
The Ashanti Regional Police Commander, ACP Seth Charles
Oteng, who confirmed the story, said that no arrests had
been made but gave the assurance that the police had
intensified their investigations.
He said an autopsy on the deceased revealed that he died
as a result of excessive bleeding.
He appealed to members of the public to assist the
police in their investigations for the arrest of the
gangsters.
