February 19, 2021
An Accra Circuit Court has remanded into police custody, a 38-year-old man, for punching the right eye of his lover over GHC2.00.
Samuel Sackey, is said to have punched Mavis Ashley, after she had pleaded with him (Sackey) to add GHc2.00 to the daily upkeep money of GHc10.00 (chop money) for her and their son.
The police said soon after the blow, blood started oozing from the victim’s eye, and she was rushed to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for surgery.
The Court was told that the victim could no longer see with that eye.
“The prosecution said the complainant had a challenge with her left eye since her childhood.
“He said on December 10, last year, at about 5:00 pm, Sackey went to visit the complainant in her house after she had been discharged from hospital.
“Chief Inspector Atimbire said during Sackey’s visit, the complainant appealed to the accused to add GHC2 to the usual GHC10.00 he had been giving her and their son because she was eating a lot more because of her medication.
“The prosecution said Sackey became offended and a misunderstanding ensued between him and the complainant.
“Chief Inspector Atimbire said during the misunderstanding, Sackey punched the complainant’s right eye.
