A 50-year-old man was in the evening of Thursday November 10, 2016, stabbed to death after a brawl with a carpenter in the area.
Father-of-seven Kweku Temeng, also a tailor, was stabbed twice with a screw driver by the unnamed carpenter after he confronted the latter over his failure to produce a table he had paid GHS16 to him to make.
Osagyefo FM’s Adu Gyamfi Marfo, narrating the incident to Accra News, said the deceased went to the residence of the carpenter to demand he produce the table or refund the cash.
However, tempers flared and Temeng was said to have slapped the carpenter, who retreated to his room and emerged with a screwdriver, subsequently thrusting it twice into him.
The two were separated by onlookers after which Temeng went home, but his wife, seeing her husband weak and in blood-soaked clothes, sought the assistance of friends and relatives who rushed him to the hospital, where he later died.
Police at Mankessim have commenced investigations into the matter while a search has intensified to track down the carpenter.
