This is so crazy mehn! I got this from a
reader and according to him, a third-year Banking and Finance student
of the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) was yesterday
allegedly stabbed to death by her boyfriend after she had threatened to
jilt him.
The victim, identified as Jennifer Attieku, 20, is said to have befriended the suspect, identified only as Paul, a taxi driver.
Paul is said to have stabbed himself in
the abdomen after eyewitnesses and passers-by had raised an alarm while
the victim fell from the wounds sustained from the attack.
The incident, which happened in an open
space near the Alpha Medical Centre at Madina Estates about 8 a.m.
yesterday, attracted many people, with some calling the police.
The victim and her boyfriend were both
taken to the Alpha Medical Centre unconscious, where the medical
personnel managed to resuscitate Paul but pronounced Jennifer dead.
Threat of life
An elder brother of the deceased, Alfred
Attieku, said Jennifer had informed him about a threat by her estranged
boyfriend to kill her if she did not reconsider her decision to break
up with him.
He said he, therefore, went to the Legon Police Station to file a complaint about the threat and Paul was subsequently arrested.
Mr Attieku said Paul was, however,
granted bail, only for him to receive a call yesterday that his sister
had been stabbed by a taxi driver who turned out to be her boyfriend.

Police report
Police report
Briefing the Daily Graphic, the Accra
Regional Police Public Relations Officer, Assistant Superintendent of
Police (ASP) Mrs Effia Tenge, said the Madina Police received a call
that a man had stabbed a woman near the Alpha Medical Centre after the
two had engaged in a scuffle.
When the police arrived on the scene,
she said a woman was found with deep knife cuts on her head, throat and
left breast, while the man, who was said to have stabbed himself in the
abdomen, was found with the bloodstained knife lying close by.
Preliminary investigations by the
police, she said, established that Jennifer, who had reported a case of
threat against her life by her boyfriend on November 10, 2015, was on
her way to school from her hostel when the incident happened.
She said although the police arrested
the boyfriend when they received the threat complaint, he was released
on police enquiry bail on November 11, 2015 and traced Jennifer to her
hostel, since she had refused to answer his calls.
The two are believed to have engaged in
an argument at the private hostel where Jennifer lived, which was not
far from the scene of the stabbing.
The police have since retrieved the
kitchen knife which they described as “new and sharp”, while the body of
the victim has been deposited at the Police Hospital morgue for
autopsy.
Paul is currently receiving treatment at the Alpha Medical Centre, where he is being guarded by policemen
