They say hell hath no fury like a woman scorned; but the same applies to men, apparently.
This sad story from Jaway Anlo near Half Assini has all the elements of a Shakespearan tragedy. Mawutor Huevor, the suspect, attempted to poison his estranged lover with rat poison, but unfortunately she did not eat the resulting meal alone, but took it with four children who also perished from the poison.
Graphic Online reports Mawutor is in the grips of police for the suspected crime. He used to stay with the deceased for years as husband and wife, until she moved out over his refusal to pay her bride price and legally marry her.
According to the accused, the girl and her friends were teasing him over the break-up. They even composed a song to use to laugh at him; so being unable to take the humiliation any longer he designed a plan to get rid of the lady.
