Esther Enyonam Pakyi, who some time last year poured acid on her boyfriend, Eric Ohemeng, leading to a blind right eye, has been remanded in police custody.
Enyonam has been charged with attempted murder before the Adjabeng Court 2, presided over by Mr James Kojo Bota. Presenting the facts of the case to the court, Chief Inspector Gregory Yeboah said Ohemeng was a student at GIMPA while Enyonam was currently unemployed and resided at Madina.
According to the prosecutor, the two were in a love relationship until June 2015 when Ohemeng announced to Enyonam his intent to break up the relationship.
Chief Inspector Yeboah said Enyonam, aggrieved at the news, managed to acquire some sulphuric acid at Madina and on June 25, 2015 poured same on Ohemeng leaving him at the point of death after which she went into hiding.
The prosecutor said Enyonam was arrested at Dansoman.
Speaking to The Mirror in an interview on February 10, 2016 at the court premises, Ohemeng said he harboured no hard feelings against Enyonam.
“Even though I can’t move my neck and I’m blind in my right eye, my only plea is that justice is served so that I know the way forward,” he said.
The Judge, Mr Bota, has tasked the investigators to speed up investigations so the case could be resolved as quickly as possible.
The case has been adjourned to February 23 pending investigations.
The suspect has been remanded in police custody for two weeks.
