A 45-year-old man met his untimely death last Saturday at North Kaneshie, when his co- tenant gave him a heavy blow in the head with his fist after a brief misunderstanding.
The deceased only known as Kofi Old Man, unemployed, fell unconscious after the heavy blow and was rushed to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for treatment but he passed on shortly on arrival at the health facility.

In the process, Emmanuel gave Kofi one big blow, landing him on the floor unconscious.
Kofi, who was then heavily drunk, was immediately revived by the suspect Emmanuel and some co-tenants in the house.
Early the following morning, Kofi was found lying in the middle of the compound unconscious, and was rushed to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for treatment.
