Elizabeth Kwatemaa, a 27-year-old Twifo Praso based trader in the Twifo Attimorkwa District of the Central Region currently lies in a critical condition after a customer bit off her upper eyelid following a misunderstanding that ensued between them.
The victim in an interview with Sompa News’ Reporter Eric Annan indicated the suspect whose name is only given as "Linda" bought sandals from her, in November last year on credit.
But all efforts to get her to pay the money became an exercise in futility until she met the suspect roaming in the Praso township that fateful afternoon of the incident wearing the same sandals.
She solemnly approached the suspect for her money which turned into a protracted argument between them.
Without provocation, according to the victim, the suspect held her head, looked straight into her eyes and gouge off the upper left eyelid together with her eyebrow.
Bystanders after witnessing the pool of blood emanating from her eyes eventually rushed her to the hospital for medication.
Meanwhile, the case has been reported to the Twifo Praso Police Command while investigation commences.
