Final year student of O’Reilly Senior High School stabbed to death by colleague
A final year General Arts student of O’Reilly Senior High School, Edward Borketey Sackey has been stabbed to death by colleague.
The incident occurred at the school’s premises on Tuesday, September 3 shortly after the 18-year-old had finished a paper. According to a cousin of the deceased who witnessed the situation, the stabbing erupted during a fight with a colleague, Godwin.
She narrated that the fight started over an argument about who has what more than the other.
“He had a paper in the morning and came to me that he was done with is paper…Few minutes we heard some noise at the back and we asked what’s wrong and they said its Godwin and Edward fighting. I asked what’s the fight about and they said its nothing serious.
“The whole thing what’s about you what do you have? I have this and that, you’re lying. That was what brought the fight. So, I thought the whole thing is nothing.
“Few minutes later, the Godwin guy came up to me and asked me to warn my brother or else his blood will flow and I told him it has not gotten to that,” she narrated.
According to her, Edward, the deceased ran to the teachers who were in the school when the chaos started but they “did not do anything.”
This prompted her to rush to her uncle whose shop was outside the school to report what was happening but did not meet him. However, upon her return, her brother had been stabbed by Godwin, a final year visual arts student who he was engaged in the fight with.
“When the chaos started my brother run to the teachers who were sitting under the tree in the school compound…I was calling the guy to stop but they didn’t mind me so I decided to go to my uncle who has a shop outside the school to report to him what was happening since the teachers are not doing anything.
“The guy is not someone he will joke it when he is coming to school he has this small bags that contains a lot of harmful substances like knife,” she said.
