The Committal Trial of Vera Akosua Asare, a 25-year-old woman, accused of allegedly killing the Ex-boyfriend with acid attack has ended at the Koforidua District Court.
The accused has been charged with Manslaughter when she appeares at the Koforidua High Court to undergo full criminal trial.
He pleaded guilty when facts were presented to her at the Court.
Scores of family members and sympathizers of the victim stormed the court wearing T-shirts to show solidarity.
Vera was rearrested a month ago by police following the death of her Ex-boyfriend Daniel Omane whom she allegedly doused with acid earlier this year.
The Effiduase District Police Command in the Eastern Region rearrested Vera after doctors at the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital confirmed Omane’s death on Friday, following months of treatment and skin graft surgeries.
Daniel Omane, a 29-year-old mobile phone dealer in Koforidua, sustained severe injuries after Vera allegedly poured acid on him while he was asleep in his room earlier this year.
He was initially treated at the Eastern Regional Hospital before being transferred to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra for specialized care.
The partners reportedly had a turbulent relationship, often marred by frequent arguments and allegations of infidelity.
Vera, who had moved in to stay with Omane after the birth of their now two-year-old daughter, was said to have publicly confronted women she suspected were flirting with her boyfriend.
Tensions between the two reached a breaking point, leading Omane to end the relationship.
On the day of the attack, Vera allegedly entered his room and poured acid on him while he slept.
His screams drew the attention of co-tenants, who rushed to his aid and later handed the suspect over to police.
Vera was initially remanded into custody but was later granted bail to enable her care for their child.
However, with Omane’s passing, the police have pressed a fresh charge of murder.
Investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) have since visited the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital to obtain the autopsy report to strengthen the case against her.
The Eastern Regional State Attorney , Emily Addo-Kyereh has taken over prosecution of the case.
The Criminal trial begins October 13,2025.
