An 18-year-old Ghanaian girl living in Royston, Hertfordshire, has been jailed for a brutal attack on a love rival. Princess Owusu-Ansah live-streamed herself as she lunched the attack, which took place on February 2 at the victim’s house in East Dulwich.
Owusu-Ansah let herself into her former friend’s home and accused her of seeing her boyfriend. She then started throwing punches at the victim, who tried to protect herself with a duvet. Owusu-Ansah then poured boiling water on the victim and stabbed her in the leg multiple times.
The victim managed to escape and call for help. She was treated at Kings College Hospital for non-life-threatening stab wounds. A member of the public saw the live-streamed video and called the police.
Owusu-Ansah pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage. She was sentenced to three years in prison by Croydon Magistrates’ Court.
Detective Constable Abigail Ellyatt praised the victim’s strength and courage and hoped that the sentencing would bring her some comfort.
