Mother of Murdered JHS Graduate Demands Justice

The mother of 16-year-old Dennis Owusu Ansah, who was fatally stabbed in Anloga, Ashanti Region, is calling for justice as her family mourns his tragic loss. Dennis, a recent graduate of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE), was preparing to enroll at Tweneboa Kodua Senior High School later in the week.

The incident occurred on Monday night around 7:30 p.m. when Dennis, reportedly escorting a friend home, encountered a confrontation with three teenage girls. Witnesses stated that a dispute escalated, and one of the girls allegedly pulled out a knife and stabbed Dennis in the rib, leading to fatal injuries. He was rushed to a hospital but was pronounced dead on arrival.

Dennis’s mother, Stella Frimpong, expressed her devastation, pleading with authorities to ensure justice. She recounted her son’s challenges in securing a school due to financial hardships, revealing he had initially been accepted at Jachie-Pramso SHS before securing support from a relative to attend Tweneboa Kodua SHS as a boarding student.

With the suspects currently in police custody, the family hopes for a swift investigation and accountability in Dennis’s death.
