The Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Olivia Ewurabena Adiku, Head of Public Affairs Unit of the Western Regional Police Command told the that at about 11:50 Thursday evening, the Sekondi Police received a complaint from Esi Kakraba, mother to the deceased about the incident.
She reported that her two sons engaged in a fight around 1900 hours at Essaman, with the elder brother allegedly slashing a sharp object around the throat of the younger.
She said, the deceased was subsequently rushed to the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital (ENRH) and was admitted for treatment, but died few hours later.
