A final year student of the Effiduase Senior High School in the Ashanti Region has been stabbed to death by two unknown armed men.

Derrick Agyei, 18, was stabbed in the neck by the armed men but died a few hours after being rushed to the Effiduase Government Hospital Wednesday evening.

According to the Police in Effiduase, the deceased, together with a friend, scaled the school’s fence to watch a football match outside campus when the attack occurred.

The police have, therefore, launched a manhunt for the two unknown attackers.

According to the Effiduase District Commander, Superintendent Asare Bediako, the deceased’s friend, Douglas Obeng, 17, has since given a statement to police.

According to him, at about 7.30 pm on Wednesday, they received a complaint at the charge office about the stabbing.

He said the attackers confronted the students and demanded they hand over their mobile phones and all the money they had on them.

“Obeng had only ¢2 on him which they took away but the deceased refused to give them his mobile phone and money. So, they attacked him and he struggled with him.

“While resisting their attack, one brought out a knife and stabbed him in the neck. Douglas sensing danger bolted, but instead of going back to the school to report, he went ahead to watch the football game,” Supt. Bediako said.  

He stated further that the deceased scaled back into the school campus but could not walk back to the dormitory.

He said he was later found bleeding profusely by a student.

 “The student raised an alarm and was helped to take Derrick to the housemaster who rushed him to the hospital,” the District Commander narrated.
