Lambert Frimpong was in the process of preparing to return to his studies and take his semester exams when the incident transpired.

“I was getting ready to go to church when one of my unit committee members called me to inform me of this killing. The deceased was a student at KNUST who was studying history and politics, and he was scheduled to write his exams today. I met the brother of the deceased, who told me the deceased informed the family he would be leaving for school on Sunday.”
“The brother said his friend left his key with him to take care of the place, so he went to the house and met another friend there. A lady in the house narrated that a quarrel ensued, and the suspect threatened to kill him. Later, he stabbed him multiple times with a knife when the argument became heated. The police have invited the tenants who witnessed the incident. They are looking for the suspect,” he said.
