A scuffle that ensued between a 16-year-old boy, Alhassan Sulemana, and a set of twins at a pub in Berekum has led to the tragic death of the former.
As reported by myjoyonline.com, the incident took place on Saturday night and originated from a disagreement between Alhassan and the twin brothers, Farouk and Harus.
After the confrontation, it is reported that the twin brothers fled the scene, leaving Alhassan with severe injuries that ultimately proved fatal.
Mohammed Sofian, a witness to the incident, recounted that upon hearing loud shouts, he quickly intervened and approached the scene.
Upon arrival, he found Alhassan and the twins engaged in a heated exchange.
Mohammed attempted to defuse the situation and left momentarily.
However, the situation escalated, and Mohammed returned to find Alhassan stabbed, allegedly by the twins using a pair of scissors.
The severity of the injuries led to Alhassan’s untimely death upon his arrival at Berekum Holy Family Hospital.
As the community mourns the loss, the twins, Farouk and Harus, remain at large.
The grieving mother of the deceased, Safia Sulemana, expresses her disbelief and anguish over her son’s tragic death. She cannot comprehend why the boys would perpetrate such a violent act against her son, as they were close friends.
In response to the incident, the deceased’s brother has filed a report with the local police, for a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding Alhassan’s death.
