What happened to Francois Ghoda, the student murdered in Bafoussam?
Students and teachers of Government Bilingual high School Bafoussam are still in shock following the death of Francois Xavier Ghoda. The student in the class of lower sixth science was on his way back home from school when he was attacked and stabbed.
Nobody knows for sure why Xavier decided to leave the school premises during class hours or why he chose an isolated path (supposedly a shorter way home) to leave. It is while on this path, in the Bamendzi neighborhood, which is on the borders of a forest known to be sacred by people of the area that he was attacked and stabbed in the back. inhabitants of the area intervieed say delinquents frequently come around and were probably trying to get a mobile telephone from Francois Xavier Ghoda before the unfortunate incident occured.
Passersby found the 18 year old in this state and rushed him to the King Place health place where he died.
Investigations have been opened by security forces.
