It all started when the suspect confronted the deceased about why the deceased proposed to his fiancee on Boxing Day.

A resident told Accra-based Joy FM that "They fought because of the girl. Buckman, the suspect doesn't hail from here, he leaves at Praso the next town. He came here with the intention of killing him that is why he had a knife on him.

"Buckman proposed to his girlfriend, so yesterday the girl identified him to the suspect and that triggered the fight."
