The Western Regional Police Command is on the lookout for a 52-year old carpenter (name withheld) for attempting to set his wife ablaze at Diabene.
Confirming the incident to the GNA in an interview in Sekondi on
Tuesday, Western Regional Coordinator of the Domestic Violence and
Victims Support Unit, Mr. Lawrence Gbele, said the couple had married
for over 25 years and had six children.
He said a few months ago, the couple had marital problems and the
husband threatened to kill his wife while moves to resolve the problems proved futile.
Mr. Gbele said at about 2pm on July 13, the husband sprinkled petrol on all the clothes of his wife and invited the wife to their room for a discussion.
He said when the wife entered the room her husband, who was then
lying on a bench outside, rushed into the room and attempted to set it
ablaze.
Mr Gbele said a co-tenant who saw the husband rushing into the
room dashed into the room and rescued the woman.
The wife reported the incident to the police but the man escaped
from the town.
A police search in the room revealed a yellow gallon with fuel and
matches beside it.
