28-year-old Ghanaian-UK based lady pours acid on boyfriend’s face, sentenced to 14 years in prison
For pouring acid on her boyfriend, a Ghanaian woman in the United Kingdom has been sentenced to 14 years in prison.
Esther Afrifa, the last, poured acid on her boyfriend, Kelvin Pogo, believing he was cheating with a university classmate.
While her boyfriend was sleeping, the 28-year-old woman purchased a liter of sulphuric acid from an online retailer and poured it on his chest.
She made matters worse by preventing her 29-year-old boyfriend from receiving emergency treatment.
When he was lying on a sofa, the angry lady attacked him again and poured more acid on his face and torso.
When Esther Afrifa was sentenced to 14 years in prison at Harrow Crown Court, Judge Charles Bourne QC described it as “a truly wicked thing to do.”
As a result of the acid attack, Kelvin Pogo has lost his sight permanently.
“You prepared a weapon you knew would cause extremely severe disfiguring injuries and terrible pain”, he said. “You armed yourself and deliberately followed through with that plan.”
