Michael Ababio, an 18-year-old Ghanaian man abroad, has been stabbed to death.
According to reports, the Ghanaian abroad was stabbed outside a library in Coventry, UK.
Reports suggest Michael Ababio was fatally injured outside Foleshill Library on Broad Street at about 21:40 GMT on Sunday.
He was later pronounced dead in hospital early on Monday morning, according to the West Midlands Police.
Also, a 19-year-old man was taken to the hospital with stab wounds after being found nearby.
The 19-year-old was later arrested on suspicion of murder.
The late Michael Ababio’s brother paid tribute on behalf of his family, saying, “He aligned with everything that I liked. Words cannot express the pain we are all feeling right now.”
The BBC, in a new report, stated, “In a tribute released through police, Ababio’s twin said most people won’t know what it is like to have a twin, but I do”.
“Michael was more than just a brother, he was my second half.”
The sibling also said, “You will be greatly missed. Our family will never be the same, but we hope you’re in a better place now.”
Detective Superintendent Jim Munro, from the force’s homicide team, said: “If you saw what happened, or you know why someone may have wanted to hurt Michael, please do the right thing for his family and let us know.”
Police are also investigating further disorder that happened on nearby Foleshill Road about 20 minutes after the fatal attack – although the force does not believe that incident is directly related to Ababio’s death.
Four people have been arrested in connection with that disorder.
One has since been charged with assault and remanded in custody. The others have been bailed while the investigation continues”.
