The Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Kasoa Divisional Police Command has arrested a 24-year-old nursing mother, Mary Tawiah, for allegedly attempting to poison her child, reportedly in reaction to her boyfriend’s infidelity.
The boyfriend, Kobby Nbelenbele, is also in police custody and is assisting with ongoing investigations.
The incident occurred at the Kasoa Old Market in the Awutu Senya East Municipality, located in the Central Region.
According to information gathered by Adom News, Mary and Kobby reside in Teshie. However, tensions arose after Kobby allegedly abandoned Mary and their child to be with another woman in Kasoa.
Mary is said to have confronted Kobby and the alleged mistress at the Kasoa Old Market, leading to a heated exchange.
An eyewitness, Felix Dnkwa, recounted that during the confrontation, Mary threatened to poison their child. She reportedly pulled out a substance from her bag and attempted to feed it to the boy.
Fortunately, bystanders intervened swiftly, restraining her before any harm could be done. They subsequently handed her over to the police.
