Emmanuella Asare, a 19-year-old woman, has been arrested and remanded into police custody following the death of her boyfriend, Enoch Abrokwa, who was allegedly stabbed during a confrontation. The incident occurred on October 9, 2026, at the deceased's residence. Chief Superintendent of Police Juliana Obeng revealed that the deceased suffered a deep chest wound after being stabbed with a piece of broken glass during the altercation.

Enoch was taken to Taifa-Burkina Hospital and subsequently transferred to Ridge Hospital for surgery, but he unfortunately passed away on October 14, 2026, while receiving treatment. Preliminary investigations suggest the dispute began at the deceased's home and escalated into a fight, resulting in the stabbing.

She reportedly confessed to the stabbing. Asare has been arraigned and will appear in court on November 3, 2026, as the investigation continues. The Accra Regional Police Command emphasized the importance of resolving conflicts peacefully and working with law enforcement during the ongoing probe.
