Kyebi: Headteacher beaten to death by teenage ‘wee smokers’

Presorts say, four (4) days before the attack, the headteacher went on an Information center to caution the youth to desist from smoking in the school to avert prosecution.

The Headteacher who was badly injured was rushed to the Kibi Government Hospital but was transferred to St. Joseph Hospital where he passed on. Later, Police investigations led to the arrest of Mireku Emmanuel 17, Philip Okodie,17, and Paul Boadu,18.
The Public Relations Officer of the Eastern Regional Police Command, DSP Ebenezer Tetteh confirmed the incident adding that the suspects will reappear in court on May 7, 2019 on the provisional charge of murder. He said efforts are underway to arrest other accomplices.
