Blind man stabs wife over GH¢50
A blind man is in the grips of the police for
allegedly stabbing his wife multiple times during
an argument Sunday night at Worawora in the Volta
region.

The suspect whose name was only given as Bobbie
assaulted his wife, Esinam Tsekpa for misplacing
items and his GHS50.

After the argument, the victim packed out of her
matrimonial home.

Narrating the incident to Adom News, Head of
Worawora Unit Committee, Kwabena Dede said the
woman went to stay with her sister called Mama
Tsekpa until the issues were resolved.

However, Bobbie arranged with his friend, Yaw
Mintah to lure his wife out of her sister's house
for them to resolve the issue amicably.

So around midnight Sunday, Mintah went to the
house, called out Esinam whiles Bobbie was hiding
behind him.

“Immediately Esinam opened the door, Yaw Mintah
moved away and gave blind Bobbie access to push
her down and stab her eight times,” he added.

Kwabena Dede said the lady begun screaming which
drew the attention of residents who came to her
rescue.

The blind man, Bobbie escaped from the scene but
was apprehended by a vigilante group in the area
and handed over to the WoraWora police.

The victim, Esinam has been transferred to the
Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for further treatment.

Meanwhile, sister of the victim, Mama Tsekpa
expressed shock at the conduct of Bobbie over just
GHS50.

She is, therefore, calling on the police to
conduct thorough investigations to bring the
culprit to book.
