Akua also said, Abena was naked when she opened the door and her skin was peeling off. She then rushed to knock on her [Abena's] husband's door but he did not respond. Some of the corrosive substance dripped on her limb when she tried to hold her. She said she felt her skin burning.
She added that she called other neighbours in the house to help her get the victim to the hospital. She said when she returned, the victim crawled out of her room and told her Agyaku had poured acid on her.
The suspect suddenly set his room on fire and sneaked out, another neighbour told Luv News' Kwasi Debrah.
The victim was rushed to a hospital in the area but was transferred to the Okomfo Anokye Teaching Hospital, where she later died.
The neighbours are yet to file an official complaint at the Nkawie Police Station.
