A man identified as Emmanuel Addai has allegedly bitten off his wife’s ear during a violent confrontation at Wonkayaw, a community in Dambai Township, Krachi East Municipality of the Oti Region.
The victim, Madam Cecilia Fordjour, 46, said the incident happened shortly after her husband returned from a funeral. According to her, she was preparing to serve him food when he suddenly ordered her to leave the house.
