According to the Ghana Police Service, preliminary investigations indicate that the incident occurred on October 9, 2026, following a disagreement between the two at the deceased’s business premises. The confrontation allegedly escalated, resulting in the suspect stabbing Abrokwa in the chest with a piece of broken glass.
The victim was initially taken to a hospital at Taifa-Burkina before being referred to Ridge Hospital for surgery. He reportedly sustained a deep wound that affected his intestines but died on October 14 while receiving medical treatment.

The suspect has appeared before the court and has been remanded into police custody. She is expected to reappear on November 3, 2026.
