O’Reilly SHS student was stabbed in the forehead, chest and ribs; left to bleed out - Family details

The family of the late Edward Borketey Sackey, the final year student of O’Reilly Senior High School who was stabbed by his colleague, on September 2, 2024, is our guest on this episode of #SayItLoud.

Both the head of the family, Nii Afotey Chiribour IV, and the father of the deceased, Enoch Sackey, who spoke to GhanaWeb’s Ishmael Batoma, while detailing the event that led to the death of their son, partly blamed the teachers of O’Reilly for his death.

Nii Chiribour IV claimed that the teachers watched on as their son was being stabbed by the accused person and left him bleeding out right in front of them without offering any assistance.

According to him, doctors of the LEKMA Hospital, where the deceased was pronounced dead on arrival, said that the late Edward Sackey would have had a chance of surviving if he had been brought to the hospital earlier.

Enoch Sackey, who has now lost his only son, vowed to fight till all the persons responsible for the death of Edward Sackey are held accountable.
