A 31-year-old Edwin Quator has died from wound he sustained after being reportedly stabbed in Weamah Town, Bokomu District, Gbarpolu County.
According to the County Police Detachment, the incident happened in the early morning hours during a memorial celebration of Joshua’s Tornah.
Police quoted one Darlington Williams, who reported the incident around 2: a.m. that the celebration was divided into two groups.
One of the groups was characterized by traditional dance, while the other consisted a musical entertainment.
Williams told police that the victim, Edwin Quator, had complaint about a person he thought was a boy, but was a female that had caused him problems.
According to Williams, he later advised Quator to forget about the problem, since the person in question was an 18-year-old female, Suah Tokpah.
Police said, Edwin allegedly slapped Suah in the presence of Williams. Edwin then left the area, but returned later when Madam Suah reportedly stabbed Edwin in the stomach with a pair of scissors.
Edwin was being taken by motorbike to the hospital in Bopolu City for treatment, but succumbed to death near Gorma Hill, close to Weamah Town.
Police said a joint security team was immediately sent to Weamah Town to investigate the incident.
The case involves Edwin Quator, 31, of Weamah Town, who died, and Suah Tokpah, 18, also of Weamah Town, who is the suspect.
The incident remains under Gbarpolu County Police investigation.
