A seven-year-old boy met his untimely death when a wall collapsed and trapped him dead at Prang in the Pru West District of the Bono East Region.

The deceased, only known as Satai, was playing with his other friends when the wall collapsed and trapped him.

His body had since been deposited at the Yeji St Mathias hospital for autopsy and preservation, while the police continued with their investigations.
