We should stop promoting domestic violence not entreat victims to endure all this in the name of marriage and children because this is what has led to all that has happened.

My father took approximately 3 hours to travel from Sogakope to Accra and when he arrived he (Charles) told him my sister had been transferred to the Police Hospital. Meanwhile, she was brought to the Leicester Hospital Dead on Arrival. By then Charles had already sent my sister's body to the mortuary whiles he was telling my father that my sister was in coma,” Hans narrated with a teary voice.
