A twenty-two year-old mother of three, Mavis Bonze is currently languishing in the cells of the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) at Buduburam in the Central region for stabbing her husband.

The suspect, who has been married to Abeiku Afful for the past eight years, on Saturday, October 3 stabbed the husband in the chest over an argument.

DSP Florence Anaman, District DOVVSU Coordinator, briefing DAILY GUIDE, indicated that the suspect, who has three children with the victim, complained about the change in behavior of her husband.

She said the husband, who is a trotro driver, had cultivated the habit of staying outside for long periods.

According to DSP Anaman, on that fateful day, the suspect, upon waiting for the husband for so long, decided to enquire about what had kept him in town.
