The youth of Wassa Akropong in response to the killing burnt several cars belonging to the Chinese nationals in the town, and also vandalizied other properties.They are also demanding that all Chinese nationals in the town are immediately sacked by the traditional authorities.
According to the Police, the Chinese national will be charged for murder. The case has since been adjourned to Thursday, 26th October, 2017.
