A 23-year-old Ghanaian, Alfred Okyere, has reportedly been killed by a co-worker in Saskatoon, Canada.

Okyere, an international student, arrived in Saskatoon four months ago with aspirations of building a better future.

According to a report by MSN.com, he recently took a part-time job at DSI Underground Canada, a mining supply company located in the city's north industrial area.

Okyere was fatally stabbed by a colleague on Monday night.
