Three teenage girls have been arrested for the alleged murder of 16-year-old Dennis Owusu Ansah in Anloga, Ashanti Region.
Dennis was a recent graduate of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) and was set to start school on Thursday, November 7, 2024.
The incident occurred on the night of Monday, November 4, 2024, around 7:30 PM. Eyewitnesses reported that the altercation began when Dennis had a misunderstanding with one of the girls while they were escorting a friend home.
During the confrontation, one of the girls allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Dennis in the rib area, causing severe bleeding.
He was rushed to the hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival. Dennis’ mother and brother have expressed their shock and devastation over the loss, calling for justice in the wake of this tragic event.
The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to determine the full circumstances surrounding the incident.
“We went to Tweneboa Kodua (SHS) on Saturday, and we were told to report on Thursday. So, I beg the child has indeed passed so please authorities should ensure that justice is served,” Stella Frimpong, the deceased mother said.
Evans Owusu Ansah, the deceased’s brother stressed that “What we the family require is that the government assist and ensure that justice is served because you can’t kill a boy just like that. For a child of 15 years, you can’t just stab someone’s child. So, the government must ensure the right thing is done. I am surprised a child of her age could do such a thing.”
