The Tesano Divisional Police Command is investigating the death of 33-year-old Enoch Abrokwa, who allegedly died after being stabbed by his 19-year-old girlfriend, Emmanuella Asante, at Ofankor Barrier in Accra.
According to a press release issued by the Accra Regional Police Command on Wednesday, October 21, the incident followed a disagreement between the two at the deceased’s business premises on Friday, 9 October.
Preliminary investigations indicate that the confrontation escalated, with Ms Asante allegedly stabbing Mr Abrokwa in the chest with a piece of broken glass.
He was initially rushed to a hospital at Taifa-Burkina before being referred to the Ridge Hospital, where he underwent surgery for a deep wound that affected his intestines.
He died on October 14 while receiving treatment.
The police said the suspect was arrested on October 10 after the complainant and three others brought her to the police. She reportedly admitted to stabbing the deceased and remains in police custody as investigations continue.
Ms Asante has since been put before the court and remanded into police custody. She is expected to reappear on November 3.
The Accra Regional Police Command has urged the public to resolve disagreements peacefully and refrain from violence.
It has also appealed to the public to co-operate with investigators as they work to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and take appropriate action in accordance with the law.
