CHURCH ELDER INFLICTS WOUNDS ON LOVER (PAGE 3)

From Koforidua Nana Konadu Agyeman also reports that a 35-year-old elder of the Pentecost Church at Akyem Maase in the Eastern Region, who inflicted severe machete wounds on her lover on his farm at Akyem Maase, has found himself in the grips of the law.
The accused, Emmanuel Tagbor, who is also a Sunday School teacher of the church, was said to have agreed to meet with Mary Owusu, 32, on his farm to give her GH¢55 on June 25, this year to abort a pregnancy she had conceived.
When the unemployed victim, who has four children with the accused, went to the farm at 2 p.m to demand the money, a quarrel ensured between them when Tagbor failed to honour his promise.
However, when the victim decided to leave the farm, the accused gradually followed and inflicted the deep machete wounds on her head, face, neck and arms and chopped off two of her fingers.
The victim, who was taken to the Koforidua Regional Hospital by the two brothers of the accused, is currently responding to treatment.
