A casual confrontation among some youth at Effiekuma in the Effia-Kwesimintsim Municipality (EKMA) in the Western Region turned bloody when one of them died in the ensuing violence.
The Takoradi Central Divisional Police Command is investigating the murder of Emmanuel Ato Simpson, who is said to have died from a wound inflicted by a mysterious knife during the confrontation.
The confrontation came about when a 19-year-old resident, Francis Esson, sought to caution some youngmen, supposedly in an excited mood, to stop making noise behind his window.
Mystery knife
The youngmen, some of whom were said to be smoking at the time, were apparently incensed by the caution, and engaged Esson in a fight during which Ato Simpson died from the ‘mystery’ knife.
