Sources reveal that during the altercation, the girl allegedly pulled a knife and stabbed Dennis in the rib area, resulting in severe bleeding.
He was pronounced dead upon arrival at the hospital.
The family of the deceased expressed shock at the tragic incident and are demanding justice.
Stella Frimpong, the mother of the deceased said, “We went to Tweneboa Kodua (SHS) on Saturday, and we were told to report on Thursday. So, I beg the child has indeed passed so please authorities should ensure that justice is served.”
The brother of the deceased Evans Owusu Ansah, also stressed that “What we the family require is that the government assist and ensure that justice is served because you can’t kill a boy just like that. For a child of 15 years, you can’t just stab someone’s child.
“So, the government must ensure the right thing is done. I am surprised a child of her age could do such a thing.”
