A disturbing incident has unfolded in Sefwi Abrokofe, a community in the Western North Region’s Juaboso District, where a 55-year-old man, William Gyamfi, popularly known as Kwasi Manso, has been apprehended by the police for allegedly stabbing his family member, Akua Agyeiwaa, in both eyes with a pair of scissors. The incident occurred following a domestic dispute between the two, leaving the victim critically injured and in need of immediate medical attention.
The local authorities swiftly responded to the report, deploying a patrol team to the scene to arrest the suspect. Upon arrest, Gyamfi was found with visible injuries, including a swollen left eye, bruised forehead, and bleeding from his left leg, which necessitated his admission to the Juaboso Government Hospital for treatment. After receiving medical attention, he was discharged and is currently in police custody, assisting with ongoing investigations.
The community is outraged, with some residents coming forward to allege that Gyamfi has a history of violent behavior, including a previous incident involving a cutlass attack on his brother-in-law. As the case unfolds, community members are calling on the police to ensure thorough investigations and to prosecute the suspect to serve as a deterrent to others who may harbor similar tendencies.
This incident underscores the gravity of domestic violence and highlights the need for effective measures to prevent and address such cases. As investigations continue, the police are working to gather evidence and bring the perpetrator to justice.
