A factory worker named Michael Tetteh was given a life sentence for stabbing Patrick Gyasi, an okada rider, after a brawl with a broken bottle.

Tetteh was accused of murdering a man in the Accra High Court, and a jury of seven people found him guilty.

On June 16, 2017, Tetteh fatally stabbed the victim in the Greater Accra Region’s Oduman neighborhood close to Amasaman.

Both the deceased and the offender were inhabitants of Oduman in Accra’s Amasaman neighborhood.

The deceased made a stop on June 16, 2017, at Otumfour Spot in Oduman.

According to the prosecution, the dead were approached by the convict and another man named Taller at the scene at 11:00 pm and told them, “The other day while I was beating my child you insulted me and today you are here now.”

The deceased allegedly replied that he didn’t have a problem with the criminal.

The prisoner then attempted to strike Gyasi (dead) using a fried yam vendor’s log that he had just retrieved.

According to the prosecution, one taller man overpowered Tetteh, removed the log, and separated the deceased from the accused.

According to the prosecution, Tetteh then returned home with a bottle, which he allegedly hid in his pocket. Tetteh attacked Gyasi (dead) with the shattered bottle when he came back, striking him in the head and stabbing him in the neck and arm.

Gyasi, according to the prosecution, bled profusely and was taken to the Oduman Health Centre but later transferred to the Amasaman Government Hospital, where he passed away.

On June 21, 2017, according to the prosecutor, Tetteh fled to his girlfriend’s house in Asuboi, Eastern Region, where he was later apprehended.

Gyasi died as a result of hemorrhagic shock and injuries, according to a post-mortem examination of the dead by Dr. Owusu Afriyie at the Police Hospital in Accra.
