A Ghanaian student, Alfred Okyere, who relocated to Canada just four months ago, has tragically been stabbed to death at his workplace, only a few days after starting a part-time job at DSI Underground Canada.

The 23-year-old arrived in Canada in 2024 and had been living with his elder sister, Lydia Obeng. He was reportedly killed by his 53-year-old co-worker, Troy Francis Leclair, at DSI, a mining supply company.

In an interview with the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, Ms. Obeng shared that police informed her Alfred had been stabbed more than a dozen times.

“They told us there was an altercation, and he was stabbed 17 times in 30 seconds,” Ms Obeng explained.

“I know he is very calm. Alfred is never troublesome. It was a new job he told me he had found, and he started last Wednesday. And he left around 2:40, picked an Uber, and went to work.”

She added, “Alfred’s name never crossed my mind when I saw the police here. I know he is very calm. Alfred is not trouble.

“When the police broke the news, I couldn’t believe it until they brought me his bag. I packed his lunch and everything when he was living and a document we took to SGI. So he clearly told me that he was the one.”

In a statement, the police confirmed that Alfred Okyere sustained multiple stab wounds and was pronounced dead at the hospital.

“Upon arrival, police located a 23-year-old male victim suffering from stab wounds,” a police statement. “He was transported to hospital where he was pronounced deceased.”

However, Ms. Obeng stated that the family of the deceased has not been provided with any information about the circumstances surrounding Alfred Okyere’s death.

Meanwhile, Canadian police have charged Troy Francis Leclair with murder.
