A tragic incident unfolded at a pub in Berekum, situated in the Bono Region, involving twin brothers and their friend, resulting in the death of 16-year-old Alhassan Sulemana.
According to reports, the altercation occurred on Saturday night and reportedly began as a misunderstanding between Alhassan and the twins, identified as Farouk and Harus.
Eyewitness Mohammed Sofian, who was present at the pub, recounted hearing loud shouts and went to investigate. He discovered Alhassan and the twins engaged in a heated argument. Mohammed intervened and advised them to stop, then left the premises. Unfortunately, upon his return, he found that Alhassan had been stabbed by the twins using a pair of scissors.
Tragically, Alhassan succumbed to his injuries upon arrival at Berekum Holy Family Hospital. Witnesses observed the twins fleeing the scene after the incident.
The mother of the deceased, Safia Sulemana, expressed her disbelief and anguish at the loss of her son, as the twins were close friends with Alhassan. She is struggling to comprehend why such a horrific act was committed against her son.
The case has been reported to the police by the deceased’s brother, and an investigation is underway to bring justice to Alhassan’s untimely demise.
