The Eastern Regional Police Command has mounted a search for a farmhand, Joseph Tei, who allegedly severed the left hand of his unemployed girlfriend, Patience Tei.<\/p>\n
Tei bolted after committing the act at Aponapono, a village popularly known as Kpankpan, near Suhum Kene in the Eastern Region.<\/p>\n
\n
Patience was rushed to the Suhum Government Hospital where she is currently on admission.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to the Public Relations Officer of the Eastern Regional Police Command, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Mr Ebenezer Tetteh, the incident occurred on June 9, 2017.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He said a relative of the victim reported the incident to the police.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
According to ASP Tetteh, the victim is responding to treatment.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThere has not been any arrest yet, but efforts are being made to arrest the suspect to assist in investigations,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Relationship <\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ASP Tetteh said the suspect and the victim had been in a relationship for some time, but one of Patience\u2019s relatives who had been taking care of the victim since her father died advised her to end the relationship with Tei.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
ASP Tetteh stated that Patience was in church when the suspect sent for her, only to cut off her hand.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He appealed to the public to help trace the suspect to allow justice to take its course.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Mr Bright Agu, who is the head of Patience\u2019s family, told the Daily Graphic that Patience and the suspect had been in a relationship for four years until seven months ago when he warned her to end the relationship, since the suspect\u2019s mother did not support it.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
He confirmed that Patience was at the Church of Nazarene at Kpankpan when the suspect sent for her to carry out the alleged crime.<\/p>\n
