A man reported to be a Lecturer has been found dead under suspected violent circumstances at Maame Krobo in the Afram Plains South District of the Eastern Region, with police launching investigations into the incident.
The deceased, identified as Eric Blankson, was discovered lying in a pool of blood in his room after allegedly being attacked by unknown assailants.
According to the deceased’s brother, Mr. Blankson, who until his recent appointment at Peki College of Education , worked as a storekeeper at Amankwa Fisheries Agriculture Technical Institute (AFATI) in the Afram Plains North District.
He had returned home for the weekend. The two reportedly spent the evening together at the brother’s mobile money (MoMo) shop before the deceased left to retire to his room.
The brother said he remained at the shop because a heavy downpour and subsequent power outage delayed his closing time. When he later went to the house to sleep, he noticed that Eric’s sandals were outside the room, but the door had been secured with a padlock, an unusual occurrence that raised suspicion.
He forced the door open and found his brother lying in a pool of blood with what appeared to be multiple stab wounds.
The victim was rushed to the nearest health facility, where medical personnel pronounced him dead on arrival.
The police have since visited the scene, conveyed the body to the Donkorkrom Presbyterian Hospital morgue for preservation and autopsy, and commenced investigations to establish the circumstances surrounding the killing and identify those responsible.
The deceased’s brother also alleged that the attackers made away with approximately GH¢30,000 believed to have been kept in the room.
According to the family, Eric Blankson had recently been promoted and was expected to report to Peki College of Education to assume his new role before his untimely death.
Police have appealed to the public to provide any information that could assist ongoing investigations into the incident.
