TRAGEDY struck the Kumasi Secondary Technical School (KSTS) when a second- year student, Michael Sarkodie, was found electrocuted on a fence wall in the school yesterday morning.
Sarkodie, 18, was apparently trapped by a live barbed wire last Thursday night but the body was discovered yesterday morning.
Grieving mates of the deceased could not believe their eyes as they watched the lifeless body of Michael hung on the fence. The incident disrupted classes yesterday morning.
The Police later went to the school to remove the body and sent it to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital morgue for autopsy.
According to the police, they would conduct further investigations into the incident.
Some of the students who spoke to the Daily Graphic said Michael, who was a boarding student, was absent at the students’ assembly in the morning.
With no word about his whereabouts, his fellows wondered about what might have happened to him.
As the search for him continued someone came around with the shocking news of the death of Michael on the fence.
The headmaster of the school, Mr Emmanuel Mensah, told the Daily Graphic that the barbed wires were placed on the wall to prevent students from escaping to town.
The wire, he noted, was not electrified in and, therefore, suspected that they might have gotten into contact with a live electrical item following a downpour on Thursday night.
