The victim, a 23-year-old woman, Linda Agyei, sustained severe injuries at her back after the husband pushed over her failure to serve him supper.

Linda was rushed to the Nkwanta Municipal hospital due to burns on her back. She accused her husband of being an abusive man.

According to her, the husband Naru Yakubu is not responsible at home adding that he doesn't provide money for housekeeping and physically abuses her anytime she fails to serve him food.

"I always have to struggle to make ends meet to provide for the family because I know he will not give cater for anything at home," she told Accra-based Adom FM.
