The Lowdown: Sociologist gives the psychological breakdown of intimate partner violence

Between April and May 2023, there were three reported cases of individuals who killed their partners who may have rejected them or cheated on them as payback or to get even with them.

Daniel Oduro sits with a sociologist, Dr. Mark Kwaku Mensah Obeng to highlight the traits individuals must look out for in themselves and their partners to at least curb the number of intimate partner violence cases.
