When they arrived at the YBK checkpoint, our source explained, the deceased’s father launched a complaint at the police checkpoint and then a heated argument ensued between the deceased’s younger brother and the suspect. This resulted to a fight, whiles the deceased Ebrima Sanyang, who was standing and attempted to separate his younger brother from the suspect, Bakary Jallow, the suspect, took a scissor and stabbed the deceased, leaving him in a pool of blood. He was rushed to Bansang Hospital where he was pronounced death.”
