Tema, Oct. 3, GNA- Faustina Donkor, a 36-year-old chop bar attendant, has allegedly poured acid on the manhood of her 33-year-old boyfriend, Mr Samuel Adjei, leading to his death.
The Ghana News Agency gathered that the incident occurred at about 2:00 hours on Tuesday, September 24, 2024, at his residence in Tema Community One Site 12.
The victim’s body has since been deposited at the 37 Military Hospital for preservation and autopsy.
Faustina Donkor has also been arrested and is in custody at the Tema Community One Police Station while investigation is ongoing.
Madam Janet Tetteh, an eyewitness and co-tenant of the deceased, told the GNA that the victim came back from work around 21:00 hours on Tuesday and continued a cleaning exercise he started before going to work.
She stated that, “after taking my bath, I saw someone lying on the bed with him outside his room as he had placed the bed on the compound during the cleaning. I could not make the person out because it was light out, so, I called the children and asked who the person was, and they told me it was his girlfriend. I then proceeded inside to sleep.”
Ms Tetteh mentioned that at about 02:10 hours while they were sleeping, he started screaming, calling on her husband for help, and requesting that they pour water on him, adding that they immediately rushed him to the Tema General Hospital, and later filed a complaint at the Police station.
Mr Charles Amos, Assembly Member for the Padmore Electoral Area, said the deceased was pronounced dead upon arrival at the Tema General Hospital, explaining that the suspect was an ex-girlfriend of the deceased who came to pay him a visit.
He mentioned that the deceased’s current fiancée, who is pregnant, had gone to her parent’s residence in the North to deliver her baby when the incident happened.
He added that the suspect was arrested on October 1 at a food joint in Ashaiman, Lebanon, where she works.
The assemblyman urged the youth to be mindful of their actions and activities, stressing the need to dialogue on issues, adding that it was also important to formalise their love relationships.
