“We heard shouting and sounds of a scuffle from the house, but it went quiet shortly after. When I entered, I saw Emmanuel lying motionless.
Cynthia claimed she didn’t know what had happened,” one witness recounted.
Emmanuel was rushed on a tricycle to a nearby health centre, but medical staff pronounced him dead on arrival.
Police have since detained Cynthia Nyarko to assist with investigations, while a manhunt has been launched for Jeff, who is believed to have fled the scene.
