Konongo Odumase SHS murder suspects face court today

Five Konongo Odumase Senior High School (SHS) murder suspects are expected to face court today (Monday, November 8), according to the police. 

The suspects are currently in police custody for their alleged involvement in the stabbing of a first-year student of the school, leading to his death.

Emmanuel Osei Frimpong, a second-year student, is alleged to have stabbed the deceased Larhan Sam-una with a kitchen knife.

The deceased intervened to stop Frimpong from bullying another student only for him to be killed in cold blood.

Sam-una bled profusely after the wounds and died shortly after he was rushed to the Konongo-Odumase Government Hospital.

The main suspect Frimpong, and one other were subsequently arrested on Friday, November 5, at about 9:50 pm.

Three other suspects mentioned as accomplices were also picked and are currently in police custody.

Initial investigations disclosed that the students closed from prep at about 8:30 pm and went back to their various dormitories.

But these five suspects who are all in form two ganged up and decided to go to one of the houses to bully the first-year students.

They reportedly attacked one Kwame Manu first.

After they turned their attention on one Prince Amoako and attempted to drag him away to molest him, but other first-year students rescued him from the suspects.

This action, according to the police, infuriated Frimpong who attempted to slap one of them but the deceased stopped him.

Out of anger, Frimpong is said to have pulled a small kitchen knife that he had concealed and stabbed the deceased at the lower left ribs, leading to his death.
