Lady jailed 10 years for killing lover over grasscutter soup

A High Court in Sunyani, presided over by Her Ladyship Justice Mavis Akua Ando, has sentenced a 27 years old lady and resident of Abesim in the Sunyani Municipality of the Bono Region to 10 years imprisonment for the murder of her 30 years old lover.

MyNewsGh.com reporters who were in court revealed that Hilda Asumani Embro had been dating her now deceased lover for over six years.

In recent times, however, their relationship suffered a blow after the man was caught cheating on her with another woman.

The two were said to have engaged in several violent confrontations but their issues were settled by the immediate family.

According to the prosecutor, what triggered the violent attack from Hilda Asumani Embro was when Prince Yaw Aboagye decided to eat all the grasscutter soup she prepared for the whole family.

Moved by her rage, Hilda is said to have stabbed Prince with a pair of scissors multiple times in his neck and chin area which left him bleeding profusely resulting in his death.
