Man dragged to court for inflicting wounds on wife

Akwettey Kudoyor, a mechanic who allegedly inflicted cutlass wounds on his wife for using his deep freezer, was on Thursday arraigned before a Circuit Tribunal in Accra.

Kudoyor pleaded not guilty to causing unlawful harm and was granted a five-million cedi bail to re-appear on January 8.

Prosecuting, Police Inspector Emmanuel Boison told the tribunal chaired by Mr Imoru Ziblim that the complainant, Ms. Elizabeth Segle, lived with her husband at Dansoman. On October 8, Kudoyor told Ms Segle to stop using his deep freezer for making iced water to sell.

The accused also told his wife that he had a new lover and that he was taking the freezer to her. This led to a misunderstanding between the couple and Kudoyor slashed his wife's head and left hand with a cutlass.
