The University of Ghana was hit with a bang following the murder of one of its students – an unfortunate incident which happened after a verbal altercation between the deceased and one George Osei Mensah.
Martin Tweneboah, popularly known as Chief Tipsy was reportedly stabbed to death by George Osei Mensah, Saturday evening at the Commonwealth Hall, University of Ghana.
Chief Tipsy is believed to be aged 32 and hails from Nsoatre in the Brong Ahafo region.
He is said to have met his untimely death when George, the suspect, reportedly snatched a knife from a nearby khebab seller and stabbed him about six times in the neck.
The two were part of a group of former residents of the Hall (Old Vandals) who attended the funeral of another ‘fellow’ at Amrahia.
According to a statement by the Old Vandals Association, the said argument started in the bus in which they were travelling and attempts by colleagues to get them to ceasefire proved futile.
“The argument became heated and the two had to be separated on several occasions by others. It went on and on. So, when we got to Atomic Junction, the driver was advised to stop and the two were thrown out of the bus. Others joined them.
“When they got to the Hall, they had not stopped. It was at this time that the killer allegedly grabbed the knife of the khebab seller and cut the victim several times with it. The victim bled profusely and was rushed to the Legon Hospital by the killer and some Vandals,” portions of the statement read.
The police have begun investigations into the killing. The officers have cordoned off the crime scene for assessment and collection of evidence.
Meanwhile, George is in the custody of the police.

Wait on the investigation. Eyewitnesses say that the deceased was on drugs and under influence. He rather broke the bottle and slapped George. Then chased him with a broken bottle in one hand and khebab sticks. 2 people who were trying separate them were injured by the deceased and are in hospital receiving treatment now. It was at that point when 2 helpers could no help George that he out of rage and fear for his life that he grabbed the knife. This is eyewitnesses testimony. Too sad but one thing led to another.
u stabbed him six times and when he's bleeding to death you aid in rushing him to the hospital. what kind of human is that?
we always say it, lets check ourselves as the title we hold is not for doing bad things but doing good things only. now apart from the profane songs now murder is now added. a word to the wise, we need to change this modern vandalism, it was not singing of profane songs etc but pure neighborliness that is all. now we are saying an intruder, well a gay intruder i will add. shame on us. we have another funeral to attend and what happens there too.
waa look at this.
This happens when you don't use your head but your heart. Before you will think, you are in the soup.
This is rare and unusual of vandals. How can two vandals fight and lead to the death of one? i am very devastated as an old vandal who was special assistant to the then Chief Vandal.V-Mate, may your soul rest in eternal peace.
