Saskatoon, Canada – A 53-year-old man has been charged with first-degree murder following the brutal stabbing of a 23-year-old Ghanaian man on Monday night in Saskatoon. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the Ghanaian community in Canada, occurred around 7 p.m. at a business located in the 3900 block of Millar Avenue.
The victim, identified by close friends as Alfred, also known as Joe, hailed from Kumasi-Afrancho in Ghana. He had recently moved to Canada in September 2024 in search of better opportunities. According to Maame Pokuah, a Ghanaian resident in Toronto who spoke about the tragedy, Alfred was known to be hardworking and had formed a close bond with the suspect, who was both a friend and a co-worker.
Shockingly, it was during a routine break at work that the tragedy unfolded. Witnesses reported that without provocation, the 53-year-old suspect suddenly pulled out a knife and stabbed Alfred 17 times. The motive for the gruesome attack remains unclear.
Saskatoon Police revealed in a statement that officers arrived at the scene to find Alfred suffering from multiple stab wounds. He was rushed to a nearby hospital but was pronounced dead shortly after. The suspect fled the scene immediately after the attack but was apprehended by law enforcement near 2nd Avenue South and Spadina Crescent East.
Members of the Major Crime Section and Forensic Identification Section are currently investigating the incident to determine what led to this horrifying act of violence. The suspect is in custody and will face court proceedings in the coming days.
The Ghanaian community in Saskatoon and across Canada has expressed their grief and called for justice for Alfred. Friends and family describe him as a kind-hearted individual with a bright future ahead.
