TWIN BROTHERS, Farouk and Harus, have allegedly stabbed their friend, Alhassan Sulemana, 16, to death at a pub in Berekum Municipality of Bono Region.
The incident has since been reported to Berekum Police for investigations, to arrest the culprits who are currently at large.
According to eyewitness accounts, the incident happened last Sunday at midnight at a pub called Jetaime Spot.
Narrating what led to the death of Alhassan Sulemana, Mohammed Sofia told local media that during activities in the pub, she heard a loud noise emanating from one corner of the pub, “so I went there to verify but met the deceased who complained that there was a misunderstanding between him and his twin friends Farouk and Harus”.
“When I saw them exchange words, I warned them to stop misbehaving and left. A few minutes later I heard the same noise again. This time when I returned to the scene the twins allegedly attacked Alhassan, while Farouk stabbed him with a pair of scissors,” she narrated.
She further indicated that Alhassan was rushed to Berekum Family Hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival. The twins escaped after their disastrous act, and the police are on their heels.
The mother of the deceased, Sofia Sulemana, finds it difficult to believe her son was killed by his friends since her son and the twins have been very close friends and she regards all of them as her sons. “It’s hard to comprehend why they would kill him,” she said amidst tears.
The brother of the deceased, Seidu Sulemana, who also spoke to local media, confirmed a report was made to the police to help find the suspects.
