Man Butchers Wife To Death After She Asked For Divorce

A 25-year-old lady identified only as Eunice was allegedly murdered by her husband at Nungua in Ghana’s Greater Accra Region after she requested a divorce.

Her husband reportedly attacked her with a machete during a struggle, and she passed away immediately. The defendant allegedly attacked his father-in-law as well.

It was learned that Eunice had left the home because of her husband’s verbal and physical violence. Her father, Ebenezer Dwomoh, confirmed her death during an interview on Adom FM’s morning broadcast, and stated they were still in disbelief.

Dwomoh said Eunice went to her husband’s house to present a summon letter from Domestic Violence and Victims Support Unit when the incident occurred.

Mr Dwomoh described his son in-law as serial wife beater which forced his daughter to move out of the house.

He said: “Eunice moved out of the house because she could no longer take the beatings so this man decided to make life all living hell for her. He will even come to our house and beat her. He follows my daughter everywhere she goes and beat her until he finally killed her that faithful day.”

After committing the heinous crime, he said the suspect tried to escape but residents in the area managed to apprehend him and subjected him to severe beating.

Dwomoh said but for the timely interventions of the police, the suspect would have been lynched. He appealed to the Ghana Police Service to ensure the suspect faces the full rigours of the law.
