The operatives of the Ghanaian Police Force in the Suhum
Municipality area of the country, has declared a 22-year-old farmer
identified Joshua Tei, for allegedly chopping off his girlfriend's hand
over suspicion of cheating.
Daily Guide reported that the incident occurred at about 7:30 pm on
Saturday at Aponoapono, a farming community in the Eastern Region.
The victim identified as Patience, whose severed hand was
reportedly dangling after the gruesome attack, has had one of her hands
amputated at the Suhum Government Hospital after it could not be sutured
and has since been deposited at a mortuary.
While speaking to a correspondent, Patience said she was in church
but came out to receive a phone call and that unknown to her, her former
boyfriend, who had laid ambush near the church and monitoring her
movement, suddenly emerged from the bush, assaulted her and chopped off
the hand that was holding the mobile phone. She said Tei took to his
heels thereafter.
Speaking further, she said that it was until she screamed for help
before the congregants in the church came to her rescue and rushed her
to the hospital.
The suspect who is presently at large, had been accusing the victim of cheating on him with another man.
According to some neighbours in the area, Joshua Tei had been
threatening the ex-girlfriend and so the latter reported the matter to
the former boyfriend's parents but no action was taken.
