| The deceased student (Edward Borketey) who was stabbed by colleague. |
A final year General Arts student of O’Reilly Senior
High School, Edward Borketey Sackey has been stabbed to death by colleague. The
incident occurred at the school’s premises on Tuesday, September 3 shortly
after the 18-year-old had finished a paper.
According to a cousin of the deceased who witnessed
the situation, the stabbing erupted during a fight with a colleague, Godwin.
She narrated that the fight started during an
altercation over something. “He had a paper in the morning and came to me that
he was done with is paper…Few minutes we heard some noise at the back and we
asked what’s wrong and they said its Godwin and Edward fighting.
I asked what’s the fight about and they said its
nothing serious. “The whole thing what’s about you what do you have? I have
this and that, you’re lying. That was what brought the fight. So, I thought the
whole thing is nothing.
“Few minutes later, the Godwin guy came up to me and
asked me to warn my brother or else his blood will flow and I told him it has
not gotten to that,” she narrated.
According to her, Edward, the deceased ran to the
teachers who were in the school when the chaos started but they “did not do
anything.” This prompted her to rush to her uncle whose shop was outside the
school to report what was happening but did not meet him.
However, upon her return, her brother had been stabbed
by Godwin, a final year visual arts student who he was engaged in the fight
with.
“When the chaos started my brother run to the teachers
who were sitting under the tree in the school compound…I was calling the guy to
stop but they didn’t mind me so I decided to go to my uncle who has a shop
outside the school to report to him what was happening since the teachers are
not doing anything.
“The guy is not someone he will joke it when he is
coming to school he has this small bag which contains a lot of harmful
substances like knife,” she said.
She claimed that even after the stabbing, the teachers
were unconcerned about the condition of the victim, and it only took the
assistance of a passer-by to help her transport the victim to LEKMA hospital.
