Three teenagers have been arrested in connection with the murder of their 15-year-old colleague, a Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) candidate, in Akuapem-Adukrom, Eastern Region.

The tragic incident reportedly stemmed from a heated dispute over a missing GH¢10.

According to sources, the deceased had accused one of the suspects of using the money to place a bet, sparking tensions within the group.

The disagreement is said to have escalated, resulting in the fatal attack on the young student.
