Two siblings stabbed to death in a mistaken identity

Two brothers, Yaw Clinton, 23, and Kofi Nsowa, 19, have been fatally stabbed at Sefwi Akrofu, near Sefwi Boako in the Sefwi Wiawso Municipality of the Western North Region.

The alleged attacker, a young man from Sankore, reportedly mistook Yaw Clinton for someone else.

Thomas Nsia, the Assemblyman, explained that the suspect believed Yaw Clinton had travelled to Sankore to pick up his girlfriend for a wake-keeping at Akrofu.

The suspect and a group of associates are said to have travelled to Akrofu in search of him upon information from peers that an unidentified man in a green Pragyia had gone to Sankore for that purpose.

The actual person involved reportedly fled with the lady before the suspect’s arrival. The suspect saw Yaw Clinton driving a green Pragyia upon reaching Akrofu, and believing him to be the target, confronted him.

Armed with a knife concealed under a long-sleeved shirt, the suspect attacked Yaw Clinton, stabbing him multiple times until he collapsed.

Kofi Nsowa, the younger brother, rushed to intervene but was also stabbed repeatedly while trying to restrain the attacker. Both victims were rushed to the Boako Clinic but were pronounced dead on arrival.

The police are on manhunt to apprehend the suspect.
