The Sefwi Asawinso community in the Western Region was thrown into a state of shock after a jealous wife had inflicted serious injuries on another lady she suspected to be having an affair with her husband.
This was after she had ignored police advice to allow them to investigate her claim. As a result of her action, Mercy Fuachie's marriage to her husband has been truncated following a 24-month jail term handed down on her by the Sefwi-Juaboso District Magistrate Court.
She was said to have used a new razor blade to slash the chest of the victim, leaving her breast and the left wrist bleeding from deep cuts.
According to the police, Mercy suspected the victim, Victoria Tawiah, of allegedly having intimate relationship with her husband, and had warned her several times to stay away from her husband.
The police said she later made a report to them about the supposed invasion into her marital affair by the victim and the police advised her that any time she saw the victim, she should inform them so that they would invite her for an amicable settlement.
Unfortunately for the victim, when Mercy was returning home from the police station, she bought a packet of new razor blades and met the victim on her way to the farm and without any provocation, she was said to have pounced on the victim (Victoria) and inflicted the cuts on her.
She later left her bleeding and the case was reported to the police, who then went to the scene and carried the victim to hospital. Mercy was thus arrested.
She was immediately processed for court, where she was sentenced.
The convict has since began her prison life at the Sekondi Female Prisons.
