Eyewitnesses told 3news.com that Suleman who had a chewing stick in his mouth arrived to open his shop at about 7:30 a.m. Wednesday but a scuffle broke between him and the mentally deranged man.

Anyo allegedly stabbed Suleman in the chest and took to his heels. According to eyewitnesses who could not explain what caused the scuffle, Suleman who was bleeding chased Anyo but unfortunately collapsed.

Police in the area have commenced investigations into the matter while the body of the deceased been sent to the Wa Municipal Hospital morgue.

Some residents claim it is not the first time the mentally deranged man has attacked or even stabbed someone in the Wa municipality.
