He said, since his mother was not in the house, the boy resorted to destroying her slippers.
Unfortunately, the 60-year-old’s hands met the knife when he tried snatching it from his son, Supt Ochil stated.
He revealed that the child had shouted for people to come to help him save his father who was bleeding profusely.
Supt Ocil stated that all efforts by residents to stop the bleeding failed.
Mr. Kwaku, he said, died en route to the hospital after losing blood.
After the police were notified, the Junior High School student and his mother fled the scene and they are currently on the run.
