The 26-year-old house-help accused of pouring acid on a Senior High School leaver has told the Bekwai Circuit Court that he did not know that the substance was acid.
Ernest Agyei said he and Benjamin Asante were pouring water on each other and that there were four containers around them, so he did not know the one he poured on Asante was acid.
Asante, however, denied the claim and said Agyei deliberately did that because Asante failed to side with Agyei when Agyei had a confrontation with one Godfred Kwadwo Tawiah, during which he turned his anger on him (Asante).
This was during a cross-examination of Asante by Agyei.
