A 22-year-old farmer, Joshua Tei, has been
declared wanted by the police in the Suhum Municipality in Ghana, for
allegedly chopping off his girlfriend's hand over suspicion of cheating.
According to Daily Guide, the incident occurred at about 7:30 pm on Saturday at Aponoapono, a farming community in the Eastern Region.
The
victim, whose name was given as Patience, 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.
It was also reported that the severed hand was reportedly dangling after the gruesome attack.
Narrating
the sad event to Daily Guide, 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.
According to her, it was
until she screamed for help before the congregants in the church came to
her rescue and rushed her to the hospital.
It was learned 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.
