A Bibiani Circuit Court has sentenced a man who poured acid on his fiancée at Sehwi Bokabo in the Bodi District of the Western North Region to 120 months in prison.
Twenty-Five-year-old Francis Ennin committed the act in May after the lady threatened to leave him.
The prosecutor, Benjamin Owusu Agyemang, told the Court that the convict has two kids with the victim, 19-year-old Mary Owusu.
However, Francis Ennin has failed to perform his fatherly duties, hence, Mary's family warned him to stay away from her and the children.
The decision did not go down well with the convict who consequently bathed his baby mama with the acid.
After hearing the facts of the case, the Court presided over by Joshua Caleb Abaido, sentenced Francis to 10 years with hard labour.
Moreover, Francis Ennin is required to compensate the victim, Mary Owusu with an amount of GH¢100,000.
