The mother of 16-year-old Dennis Owusu Ansah, who was fatally stabbed in Anloga in the Ashanti region on Monday night, has called for justice as her family mourns the sudden loss of her son.
Dennis, a recent Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) graduate, was eagerly preparing to start school at Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School later this week.
The tragic incident occurred around 7:30 p.m. on Monday when Dennis was allegedly involved in a confrontation with three teenage girls while escorting a friend home.
Eyewitnesses recounted that an argument ensued, during which one of the girls reportedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Dennis in the rib, causing severe bleeding.
Dennis was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead upon arrival, leaving his family in shock and grief.
His mother, Stella Frimpong, spoke to the press about her devastation over the loss, urging authorities to ensure those responsible are held accountable.
“I beg, the child has indeed passed, so please, authorities should ensure that justice is served,” she pleaded, expressing her heartache and desire for justice.
Stella shared that her son had initially been accepted to Jachie-Pramso Senior High School after the BECE but could not enroll due to financial difficulties.
With the help of a relative, they arranged for him to attend Tweneboa Kodua SHS as a boarding student, where he was due to report on Thursday. “We went to Tweneboa Kodua on Saturday, and we were told to report on Thursday,” she said, her voice filled with anguish.
The family is now calling for accountability as the police investigation progresses, hoping for a swift and fair resolution to the tragic case.
The three teenage girls are currently in police custody in connection with Dennis’s death.
