A 20-year-old man, Kwadwo Bright, has been fatally stabbed following an alleged fight over a plastic chair at Ashanti New Town in Kumasi.
Eyewitnesses say the incident occurred in the early hours of Thursday, September 4, 2025, after a quarrel between the deceased and a friend, who is suspected to be the attacker, escalated into violence.
The disagreement reportedly began at a snooker game centre, where both men claimed ownership of the chair. Although the matter was initially settled, the suspect later confronted Kwadwo and stabbed him in the neck.
Georgina Yeboah, mother of the deceased, recounted her ordeal: “I heard people screaming about a young man being stabbed and rushed to the scene, only to find my son in a critical state.
Although the matter was reportedly settled, the suspect later attacked and stabbed Kwadwo in the neck, resulting in his death this morning.”
Kwadwo was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Police have yet to issue an official statement, and investigations are ongoing to apprehend the suspect.
