Jealous Man Bathes Lover With Acid In Accra
A 25-year-old lady, Grace Amezando, has had one of her ears totally burnt and her face disfigured after her displeased boyfriend who she cohabited within a kiosk at Ashongman Estates attacked her with an acidic substance.
According to the mother of two, her boyfriend, Bright Bosso prior to the attack, alleged she was cheating on him and threatened to make her look like an old woman.
“We had a misunderstanding on the 11th of May and he said I thought I was beautiful and that is why men are chasing me so I should wait and see. I would look unattractive very soon,” she told crimecheckghana.
A friend of Grace who contacted Crime Check Foundation (CCF) for support, Lawrencia Agbozo said, Bright who has so far been remanded feared losing Grace to another man and therefore attacked her to look unattractive.
Lawrencia said whiles Grace struggles to get proper medical care, Bright has rented out their kiosk and topped up the money to hire the services of a lawyer to defend his case.
“Grace was taken to the Atomic hospital and also the 37 Military hospitals where they said they couldn’t handle her situation.
She was later referred to the Korle-Bu Teaching hospital where doctors recommended immediate surgery for her but we couldn’t afford the cost,” she said.
The concerned friend further stated that “Bright has been arrested and has been remanded by the Kwabenya Circuit Court but the processes to prosecute him is being delayed.”
CCF’s support
CCF with support from one of its US donors, Caroline Onyina gave Grace Five Hundred Ghana cedis to help her buy some drugs to treat her wounds.
