A 30-year-old unemployed Togolese escaped near death at Adjei Kojo when some personnel from the Ashaiman District Police rushed to save his life from the grips of an angry mob.
Briefing The Finder, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Emmanuel Tetteh Yakah, Ashaiman District Crime Officer, said about 9.30am last Tuesday, the suspect, Komla Amedzochi, went to the residence of his victim, Felicia Abotsi Bonnie, to enquire of an unknown resident in the house.
When the victim answered that there was no one in her house by the name the suspect mentioned, he quickly drew a knife and stabbed the right hand of the victim, which was holding a door on the first floor of her storey building.
