''They (Ismael and his sister) go to Islamic school on Saturdays, but he was home because his father had returned from a trip. He was playing a game outside on his laptop while I was taking a nap,'' she said.
''His sister came running to me to tell me his brother had been killed. The police were informed and they came to the scene. My son has wrong no one,'' she added.

In other news, a 14-year-old girl only known as Raminatu has been married off to 42-year-old Alhaji Faruk in an Islamic traditional marriage in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region.
Child marriage is prohibited under the 1992 constitution of Ghana, thus by law, any person under the age of 18 is a child and can therefore not marry or be married off.
But there are claims that Raminatu is 21 and not 14 years old.
