In an interview the mother of the late Daniel, Madam Ama Serwaa told that her son is an introspective type of person and so it baffles that someone in his rightful senses will harm such him.

She, however, called on relevant authorities to clamp down on the killers of her son. She alleged that one Seth and his accomplice, Owusu are the perpetrators of this crime.

Preliminary investigations done by journalists, however, suspects that Daniel is a member of a gang which had previously fought and injured a member of another group.

These gangs that have found its way in the youths of Obuasi consist of young people whose age range 16 to 18.

The two cases have however been reported to the police and investigations are currently underway.
