He said the deceased threatened to retaliate by throwing an object at Tetteh, but the accused person and her sister madam Doris Quaye who were then at the scene of the fight alleged that the object was aimed at them. The two sisters therefore confronted the deceased, but they were separated and he (deceased) went and stood in front of his house, which was ten meters away from the two sisters' house. Chief Inspector Otchere said without any provocation, the accused person who was still bitter pulled a kitchen knife and stabbed the deceased on his right ribs in the presence of witnesses and threatened stabbing him the second time if he dared spoke. But Ibrahim was then bleeding profusely and was rushed to the Tema General Hospital where he was pronounced dead shortly on arrival. The prosecutor said the knife was however retrieved from the accused.
