school dropout has allegedly killed his six-year-old stepsister and injured his stepmother and father at Hia, a farming community near Obuasi in the Ashanti region.
Media reports have one Abdul Malik, a resident of Hia, saying that the incident happened on Tuesday night when the suspect, Isaac Takyi returned home and started arguing with his father, Agya Abrokwa,67, for neglecting his mother and himself after he got married to another woman  only identified as Dufie.
According to Malik, the argument got heated and in an attempt by the stepmother to calm Takyi down, he got hold of a chair and hit her with it sending her into an unconscious state.
He then turned his attention to his father and stepsister hitting them with the same chair, killing the young girl in the process.
Takyi, popularly known as 'humble lion' is reported to have dropped out of school and joined a galamsey group in the area after claiming that his father had stopped taking care of him.
