She stated that the last time the family heard from the 29-year-old was when he spoke to his mother on the phone after not returning home from work, which they found unusual.
In this vein, their mother contacted Charles to ask about his whereabouts, where it was disclosed that he had visited a friend in a rented apartment and had given assurance to his mother that he was returning home.
The lady said things took a different turn when they tried reaching Charles Amissah again, only to realise that his line was no longer going through.
"So he spoke to our mom. On that faithful Friday, Charles went to work as usual and didn't return home, which was unlike him. So apparently, after work, he visited a friend who lives in a rented apartment to help him with some electrical issues. Later that evening, he left on his motorbike heading home at Adenta. Our mom actually called him when he was on his way, and he assured her that he was returning home. But after some time, we tried reaching him and it was unsuccessful."
Describing the 29-year-old as someone who was very calm, Rahj expressed pain over his passing, saying that in the heat of the unfortunate incident, efforts to stabilise him by stopping the bleeding could have saved her brother.
Reacting to the move by the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital to interdict two medical doctors and two nurses in the wake of the issue, Rahj called for a thorough probe to be conducted to ensure such an incident never happens again.
