BUSTED! Kwaku Ansah<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A jilted unemployed man is currently languishing in the cells of the Tema Community 11 Police Station for attempting to poison his ex-lover.<\/p>\n

Kwaku Ansah, a resident of Tema Community 11, poured a quantity of acid into a cup of tea his ex-wife had prepared for breakfast.<\/p>\n

According to the police, Ansah\u2019s ex-wife lodged a complaint that Kwaku, who had earlier threatened that he was going to show her where power lay, tried to kill her by pouring acid into her cup of tea.<\/p>\n

The Community 11 police station crime officer, Belinda Banini, said Kwaku\u2019s ex-wife rushed to her office with what she said was the remaining poison-laced cup of tea and made a complaint against Ansah, with whom she has a daughter.<\/p>\n

She said some officers were detailed to go and arrest the suspect from his residence.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe resisted arrest when my people got to his house and even tore the shirt of one of my men, all in an attempt to avoid arrest,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The suspect, on seeing the police, tried gulping some liquid chemical in a plastic container, believed to be acid, but was stopped by one of the policemen who hit the plastic container away; a situation which made the suspect sustain some burns around his lips.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was subsequently overpowered, arrested and brought to this station and has since been detained. After investigation, he will be arraigned before a law court on the charge of attempted murder,\u201d the crime officer told DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ansah\u2019s ex-wife, whose name has been withheld for ethical reasons, told DAILY GUIDE<\/em><\/strong> that she was yet to come to terms with the whole incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had always said that he would one day do something that would shock a lot of people and kept saying that I would soon find out what he meant by that,\u201d the ex-wife said.<\/p>\n

She noted that the quarrelsome nature of Kwaku was the reason she left him, adding that she moved out of the house owned by Ansah\u2019s sister to live in a rented room with their daughter.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy sister-in-law called sometime ago and asked that I come to live in her house since she was travelling and would be away for a while. My sister in-law is very much aware of my decision to leave my husband. She only asked that I move in with my daughter so as to take care of her place until she returned,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n

She said her ex-husband also lived in the same house but in the part where she used to live with him and their daughter before the separation.<\/p>\n

According to her, Ansah, after failing to win her back, resorted to a verbal assault on her on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn November 22, 2011, on the morning, I had prepared breakfast of tea and bread for my daughter in the kitchen before sending her to school. On my arrival, I saw my ex-husband in the kitchen near where my tea was and when I questioned him as to what he was doing there, he said he was looking for salt and left almost immediately,\u201d the woman said.<\/p>\n

She reportedly spat out the tea when she tried drinking it due to a burning sensation she experienced on her tongue, compelling her to confront him immediately.<\/p>\n

Ansah denied knowing who might have tampered with the tea and requested to taste it himself.<\/p>\n

He was reported to have tried pouring away the tea in a sink but was stopped by his ex-wife who grabbed the rest and rushed to the Community 11 Police Station.<\/p>\n

Asked if she was sure Ansah had intended to kill her, she answered in the affirmative.<\/p>\n

The suspect however denied the allegation levelled against him and said the acid was meant for his friend, a mechanic, and not as his ex-wife alleged.<\/p>\n

\u201cHow could I try to kill the same woman who I have been begging to come back to me? I have rather contemplated on suicide on a few occasions and had to stop later because I realized that it is not the best option,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ansah also denied trying to swallow the acid on seeing the police and added that he tried opening the acid container with his mouth.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was trying to force open the container with my mouth after failing to do it with my hands. Some of it poured out and that is why I got these burns around my mouth,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
