The attack occurred during an argument between the tenant, who was holding his son at the time, and the landlord’s son, who prevented him from entering his room, citing the tenant’s failure to pay rent. The assailant then attacked the father and son before turning on the tenant’s daughter. All three victims were taken to the same hospital, but Samuel Amo was pronounced dead on arrival. The suspect had been previously reported to the police by his mother and was released on bail before the incident.
