In another crime-related report, Michael Tetteh, a young man could not hold back his tears after the High Court in Accra sentenced him to life imprisonment and he was whisked from the courtroom to begin his prison journey. On the day he murdered a commercial motorcycle rider during a fight, people tried to restrain him but he wouldn't listen.
The Accra High Court in Accra found him guilty of killing Patrick Gyasi, an okada rider six years ago. A seven-member jury returned a guilty verdict on him.
The now-convict stabbed the deceased in Oduman, close to Amasaman, in the Greater Accra Region with a broken bottle, leading to his death.
Both the deceased and the Tetteh, a factory worker lived in Oduman, which is close to Amasaman in Accra before he committed the heinous crime.
