Spousal killing: public view on possible causes

-

 Ghana within the few weeks has been thrown in state of shock due to the increased murder of spouses in a relationship.

A man at Doboro in the Nsawam slit his throat after killing his four month-old pregnant wife. 

A similar incident also happened at Asuofia- Asaman in the Afigya- Kwabre District in the Ashanti region also killed his wife and committed suicide.

A female Police Constable, Sandra Asiedu was also allegedly murdered in cold blood by her boyfriend at Damango in the West Gonja Municipality.

These and many more happened recently in the country without any tangible reasons.

Some residents within the Kumasi Metropolitan speaking to Silver news revealed some of the causes that can lead to this spousal killing.

According to them, mistrust and anger can lead to the killing of the partner.

Another said, pressure and arguing with the man also caused this to happen.

Head of Department of Psychology at the University of Ghana, Prof. Joseph Osarfo speaking to the media said some men thinks they owned the woman they are with either married or dating.

Social media is also one of the main factors that can lead to the killing of their partner.

He added that, another factor that contributes to the killing of their partners is betrayal. A man can take care of a lady throughout her education and the lady after securing a good job will tell the man, he is not her type, that alone can make a man kill you, he said.

He again advised men to always control their anger to avoid any mistake that can lead to be imprisoned or other consequences.

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
