Ghanaian Woman 'Sweety' Attacks Husband with Razor Blade in Volta Region
A Ghanaian woman identified as Sweety has reportedly attacked her husband, Martin, using a razor blade, inflicting serious wounds in a violent domestic incident. The assault occurred in the community of Gbi-Avega, located within the Hohoe Municipality of the Volta Region, on the night of April 18, 2026.
Details of the Violent Attack
According to reports, the incident unfolded while Martin was escorting Sweety to his house to retrieve the remainder of her belongings. This followed their separation two weeks earlier, indicating ongoing tensions between the couple. During this encounter, Sweety allegedly used a razor blade to wound Martin, causing significant injuries.
Immediately after the attack, the suspect fled the scene on a waiting motorcycle, evading capture at that moment. Martin recounted the events to journalists, highlighting the sudden and brutal nature of the assault in what should have been a routine post-separation arrangement.
Medical Response and Treatment
Following the attack, Martin was initially rushed to the Ve-Kolenu Clinic for emergency care. However, due to the severity of his condition, he was not attended to at that facility. He was subsequently transported on a motorcycle to a hospital at Ve-Golokuati, where he received the necessary medical treatment. After receiving care, Martin was discharged, though the extent of his injuries remains unspecified.
Family Background and Investigation

Authorities are actively investigating the incident with the aim of apprehending the suspect, Sweety. The case underscores concerns about domestic violence and public safety in the region.
