In Koforidua, a court has put off sentencing for a woman convicted of an acid attack. The Koforidua High Court made this decision on March 22, 2026. The court needs to know if the convicted woman is pregnant.
The woman, identified as Vera Asare, is 25 years old. She was found guilty of attacking and causing the death of her boyfriend, Daniel Omane. Omane was a mobile phone dealer.
The Judicial Service confirmed that a pregnancy test is a necessary step before sentencing in such cases. This is a standard procedure in Ghana's legal system. It helps ensure the well-being of any potential child.
The acid attack that led to Omane's death took place earlier. The details of the attack are part of the court record. Asare was convicted after a trial.
Following the conviction, the court will proceed with sentencing. The date for the sentencing will be set after the test results are available. This is according to court procedures.
