Sad News Hits KNUST as a Third-Year Female Real Estate student passes on at Ultimate Hostel, Bomso.
The student is said to have been found dead after her room was broken into and the last message she sent to a close friend is said to have read “I Quit”💔🕊️
The number of death cases recorded by KNUST raises several concerns. While some of the incidents have been accidental, others have been deemed to be deliberate.

In April 2022, level 200 student with the Biological Science department was killed his friend at Sewua in an attempt to avoid payment of GH¢300 debt.
