Blind man allegedly kills wife for seeking divorce

The suspect, George Mudor, allegedly slashed his wife, Madam Grace, who is believed to be in her late sixties, with a machete in her sleep for seeking divorce.

Information gathered at the scene indicates that the crime happened at dawn, but the suspect confessed to one of his daughters in the morning.

An eyewitness who discovered the body told Adom News’ Akwasi Dwamena that the victim had deep cuts to her neck and face.

The eyewitnesses together with the couple’s children alerted the police who visited the scene to retrieve the body.

The victim, who was fed up with taking care of her blind husband, is said to have threatened divorce as a result.
