A tussle between two brothers over the love of a 16year-old house help has left one of the brothers with a damaged eye. Robert Larbi Badu,37, who apparently feared losing the house help whom he had allegedly raped and impregnated to his younger step brother,Henry Quainoo, 29, reportedly pierced his right eye with a sharp object, last Tuesday in their family house at Dansoman in Accra. Badu, who is on the run since the incident, has been declared wanted by the Dansoman Police and the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU). The Police said that the rivalry between the two had resulted in many quarrels between them. The girl lives with Badu’s mother as a house help. The police said the latest quarrel ensued after the alleged rape of the girl when Badu had asked Quainoo not to talk to her again since he suspected that they were in a relationship. Last Tuesday, the police said, while Quainoo was going to have his bath in their bathroom he saw the girl also approaching the bathroom with her bath ware. Quainoo reportedly placed his bucket of water infront of the bathroom to allow the girl too bath first. But while waiting near his room, the police alleged that Badu rushed past Quainoo to the bathroom, and was heard asking the girl what Quainoo had said to her before allowing her to bathe first. The girl reportedly gave Badu a cheeky answer which apparently infuriated him, and on his way to his room, he is said to have asked Quainoo if he had forgotten about the warning he gave him not to talk to the girl. Moments later Badu allegedly emerged suddenly on the blind side of Quainoo and allegedly pierced his right eye with a sharp object, after which he fled the house. Neighbours rushed Quainoo to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital where doctors confirmed that the eye had been completely destroyed. Irene Oppong, Public Relations Officer of DOVVSU said that the Unit was investigating the rape aspect of the matter Source: The Ghanaian Times
