Peki SHS student’s death: Fellow student arrested as police investigate
A fellow student has reportedly been arrested following the death of 19-year-old Joseph Tsetsekple, a final-year student of Peki Senior High School in the Volta Region.
The incident, which occurred on November 3, reportedly began with a disagreement over a schoolbag placed on another student’s bed. According to a report by Adom News, the dispute escalated into a confrontation during which Joseph was allegedly pushed against a wall and became unconscious.
He was later taken to Peki Government Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Reports indicate that he remained unconscious for some time before being taken for medical attention, although the circumstances surrounding the delay have not been fully established.
The student allegedly involved in the incident has been taken into police custody to assist with investigations, Adom News reported.
The Volta Regional Director of Education, Marian Jemima Akua, also confirmed the incident to the outlet and called for better conflict resolution among students, alongside stronger supervision and emergency-response measures in schools.
