A Ghanaian
domiciled in Spain has been picked up by the security authorities in the
European country after he allegedly killed another Ghanaian in a meat factory
they both work at, the Ghana Embassy in Madrid has said in a release.
Information gathered from Spanish newspapers by the Ghanaian Times, revealed
that the suspect, identified only as Michael K, 36 years old, on September 24,
2019 killed Yunairu M. following an altercation between them at their
meat-producing factory and workplace in Riba-Roja, Valencia.
The suspect, according to information disclosed by the mission, stabbed the
victim in the neck with one of the knives used at their workplace.
He was pronounced dead by the emergency medical services upon their arrival at
the scene.
The information further indicated that the two Ghanaians had been engaging in
frequent arguments for some time now, which culminated in a heated exchange at
their workplace a little after 3 am on the day in question.
Their co-workers claimed they heard shouts from Michael and Yunairu as they
fought and were on the verge of separating them when a sharp knife was pulled
by the suspect to stab the victim.
The court has remanded the suspect after examining the police report and taking
his statement.
He is currently in custody awaiting trial. The police authorities proceeded to notify the embassy officials after the arrest.
The Ghana mission according to additional sources gathered by the Ghanaian Times was still gathering information on the incident and will keep the publicinformed.
