Evans Owusu Ansah, the deceased’s brother 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.”
