PHOTO: Woman Stabs Teenager Over ‘husband-snatching’ Scandal In Ghana

Residents of East Tanokrom, Takoradi Metropolis, Ghana, were Friday, thrown into shock as a house wife, one Effia Mensah, stabbed a 15-year-old teenager identified only as Lu'lu over allegations that she was having an affair with her husband, Komnan Mensah.
Effia, a mother of two
had trailed the victim to her apartment which she
claimed was rented for her by her husband on
the other side of town.

Meanwhile, her husband who was not present at
home to celebrate the cross-over night with his
family, was with the victim.
It was gathered that the victim, an only child to
her deceased parents, had been having an affair
with the father of two.
It was gathered that Effia trailed her husband to
the victim's apartment, where she stabbed her on
the eye.
When we got to the scene of the incident,
the victim, who had lost so much blood, was
being taken to the hospital.
A police officer from the Komfoase, Takoradi
Police station, confirmed that the mother of two
stabbed her victim with a 'sharp knife on her right
eye after trailing her husband.'
He said, "I was just passing by when people
beckoned on me, saying there had been an
incident here. When I got to the scene, the victim
was bleeding profusely, with all her bed soaked
with blood. I recognised someone I knew and
asked him to take the victim to the hospital so I
could investigate the case and arrest Effia.
"She is going with me to the hospital, after which,
I will take her to the station for questioning," the
police officer noted.
Speaking with our source, Mensah said, "I was
very surprised coming back to a house I just left,
only to see people wailing.
"When I asked, I was told a certain woman who
happened to be my wife, stabbed Lu'lu, my friend,
who had been taken to a hospital. In short I was
just rushing off to the hospital before you asked
to have a chat with me."
At the hospital, Essikado General Hospital, Lu'lu,
who had been put under life support was crying
profusely.
When our correspondent asked Mensah if he
could reckon with what happened, he spoke
further, "My wife does not understand English
very well, hence, I will speak in my dialect so I
don't cause more harm. She does not satisfy me
in bed, so I decided to have a girlfriend who can
satisfy me."
"I wonder how she managed to know where Lu'lu
resides, to the extent of stabbing her? Mensah
added.
"I do everything as a husband, a father," the
father of two added, stating further that, "my
family is never hungry. Where did I go wrong or
is it because I decided to take a girl friend?"
Meanwhile, when the suspect was asked if she
had proof of Lu'lu being her husband's lover
before she decided to hurt her, Effia said, "I am
very sure. My husband hardly sleeps at home. So
I trailed him on Christmas day and I found out
where he always visited.
"I asked questions around before I concluded and
today (Friday), he left the house very early so I
decided to follow him behind without his
knowledge, " she stated.
