The Brong Ahafo Regional Police have mounted a hunt for Isaac Apraku, a 25- year old unemployed, who allegedly stabbed to death Yaw Asampana, a 22-year old fitting apprentice, with a broken bottle in Sunyani.

Chief Superintendent Christian Yohuno, Sunyani Municipal Police Commander, told newsmen that the incident occurred on December 27, when the deceased in the company of the suspect and some other friends were returning from a Christmas dance at a restaurant and drinking spot.

He said on the way, one of Apraku's friends, Kwabena Badu, a 20 year old JSS one student, touched the buttocks of the lady with the deceased.
