Kutin Gyimah, a 52-year-old father of four originally from Ghana, who was a taxi driver in New York has been murdered in cold blood by passengers who fled without paying.
According to a report by the New York Police department, the former accountant tried to chase them down, only for one of them to knock him to the ground where he cracked his skull and lost consciousness and lost his life.
