revealed the suspect in about 30 returned the money to collect his phone but
the deceased refused to take the money and give back the phone. So a fight
broke out between them and the suspect allegedly hit the head of the deceased
with a stick” he narrated.
The deceased was rushed to the St. Theresa’s
hospital at Nkoranza for treatment but was later reported dead.
The PRO however stated the suspect was assaulted by the deceased’s son identified as Sarkodie Collins aged 20 together with his three friends.
