Mortuary attendant stabs nephew to death, injures another

 

 A 47-year-old mortuary attendant is in the custody of the Dansoman Divisional Police for allegedly stabbing his nephew to death and injuring another nephew at Chorkor in Accra.
The suspect, Theophilus Tetteh, is said to have stabbed his 34-year-old nephew, Richard
Kpakpo Allotey, and his younger sister’s son, and also hit his elder brother’s son on the head with a stick for allegedly insulting him.

The injured nephew, identified only as Okanta, aka S.O., is currently on admission at the Mamprobi Polytechnic where he was taken with blood oozing out of a cut on his head.
Allotey’s body has been deposited at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for autopsy.
Tetteh, a father of five, who lives in a family house, is said to have threatened to kill members of his family on many occasions.
The police found out that Tetteh had once stabbed Okanta’s father, injured a number of his family members and threatened to kill some of them.
Mr Tabi expressed worry over the failure of the family members to report the threat on their lives to the police, saying “that could have saved the life of the young man. Sometimes family members should not take such threats for granted”.
