A farmer who amputated his wife’s left arm after he caught her in bed with another man at Wassa Wairatrem, in the Western Region, has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment with hard labour.
This was after he failed to arrange for the victim to have an artificial limb.
The convict, Kweku Yenam, also slashed the forehead of the man after he amputated his wife’s arm and then reported himself to the police.
The prosecutor, Superintendent Raymond Kofi Erzuah, told the Bibiani Circuit Court, presided over by Mr Emmanuel Ankamah that the convict for many years suspected his wife of infidelity.
He said in order to prove his case, Yenam decided to trail his wife who had moved out of their matrimonial home as a result of persistent misunderstanding.
Supt. Erzuah said after reporting to the police, Yenam was arrested, placed in police custody and charged with causing harm and possession of offensive weapon.
The prosecutor said on the said day, the convict, at about 1:am went to the residence of the man he had all along suspected to be sleeping with his wife.
Superintendent Erzuah said Yenam knocked on the door several times but the man refused to open his door.
He, therefore, forced the door open, attacked them and left to make a report to the police.
After the incident in November last year, the convict was given time by the court to have an artificial limb fixed for the victim but he failed to do so.
The wife and her lover who were attacked are said to be doing well.
