21-year old referee, Kyei Andoh, met his untimely death few days after he was brutally assaulted in a second division league match in a suburb of Western Region.
The young referee, also a teacher by profession was the subject of massive beatings and physical assault whiles refereeing a third tier match between Bordie-based Gold Stars and Naajoe United in the Western part of Ghana.
The fans of the home-side, Gold Stars - obviously livid - launched attack on the referee for his 'unfair' officiating expressed through series of horrible slaps and dagger withdrawals - all aimed at the young referee amidst his other colleague referees (linesmen) on the day, running helter-skelter.
Some onlookers came to his aide though, he could not swerve all the harassment from the apoplectic fans.
He later went to hospital for treatment, but mild medications could only keep him alive for four days.
Kyei Andoh's demise took place last Friday after vomiting blood believed to have accumulated via the assault on that infamous day - Sunday.
His funeral is slated for next week whiles a post mortem will reveal the genuine cause of his death.
Nonetheless, the police in conjunction with the Football Association(GFA) have put measures in place to bring to fore the perpetrators of this horrendous act for deserving sanctions.
