Police told the court that Emmanuel, who is learning to become a tailor, convinced the deceased student to follow him into a piece of land in a secluded part of town.

According to a report by Joy News, Emmanuel, who is currently being held as the primary suspect in the murder case, told the deceased student that the piece of land belonged to his mother.

He told the murdered KNUST student that he wanted to take pictures of the piece of land, according to police.

However, police said that when they got to the land, Emmanuel clubbed the Kwaku with a huge stick he had hidden in the nearby bushes.

Police said they found Kwaku’s body with a swollen neck and a bloody nose.

Emmanuel also allegedly stole Kwaku's iPhone 11 pro max after the murder.
