In Ghana, a 71-year-old blind man, George Mudor, who murdered his wife in her sleep has been remanded into police custody by Nkawkaw Magistrate Court.
On March 14, 2023, Mr. Mudor allegedly hacked his wife, Madam Grace, 65, with a cutlass at Abepotia near Nkawkaw in the Kwawu West Municipality of Ghana’s Eastern region.
The deceased, who was sated with looking after her visually impaired husband, is said to have threatened divorce.
While she was sleeping, the defendant who became blind 5 years ago beheaded her in the early hours of March 14.
According to the defendant, his wife of 28 years enjoyed the blessings in his life with him and threatened to divorce him when things became bad, which is why he murdered her.
The murder was planned since the suspect reportedly made similar threats, which were dismissed owing to his condition, Co-tenants said.
Before His Worship Isaac Agyei, he divulged to murdering his wife over her decision to divorce him and pleaded for mercy in court.
Samuel Aliffo, a brother of the deceased said they were astonished by the act of the defendant and asked for justice to prevail.
On April 5, 2023, Mr. Mudor is expected to appear before the court.
