A man inflicted cutlass wounds on his girlfriend

 A 22-year-old woman is battling for her life after her ex-boyfriend inflicted deep cutlass wounds on her at Assin-Essan in the Assin North District, Ghana.

“The victim’s ex-lover went to her father’s house to settle some issues, which had soiled their relationship,” reports said.

On reaching the house, he met the victim’s father, who insisted the victim was asleep and asked him to come back later.

The suspect stabbed the victim’s father in the stomach and the chest.

“The victim rushed to the scene on hearing the scuffle but in her attempt to calm his temper, he inflicted cutlass wounds on her head, back, and hand and took to his heels,” reports said.

The Police have begun investigations into the case and called on the public to volunteer timely information that will lead to the arrest of the suspect to deter other perpetrators.
