Ghanaian Wife Stabbed 15 Times To Death

A British-Ghanaian, Minta Adiddo 38-year-old,  has been jailed 17 years for stabbing his 32yr old Ghanaian wife Akua Agyemang. Akua Agyemang died at the Royal London Hospital while nursing her knife wounds. Mr Adiddo, from Enfield, had pleaded guilty to manslaughter, although he denied murder. He told the UK court that heard the case that he suspected his wife was having an affair with their neighbour Oladepo Etti-Williams in October 2012. Etti-Williams denied it, but said they exchanged three to four 'sometimes flirtatious' texts a day - and phone records showed they had sometimes sent as many as 80 messages in one day. On November 5, 2012, Adiddo stabbed his wife with a large kitchen knife in their bedroom while their one-year-old daughter slept in a cot next to them. Ms Agyeman managed to escape through the living room window, waking neighbours with her screams. But her husband chased her down and stabbed her again in the street as she lay on the ground, leaving her with 15 separate stab wounds. Adiddo fled the scene but was arrested after police spotted him driving his car shortly the next day still wearing his blood-stained shirt. In a phone call to a relative, Addo admitted stabbing his wife and said he planned to kill himself before police caught up with him.
