A farmer from Akyem-Tafo Municipality in the Eastern region has allegedly brutalised his girlfriend for celebrating the NPP elections victory with money she stole from him and bought alcohol for the celebration.

The farmer whose name is not yet known was furious with his girlfriend for stealing his money and buying alcohol for the mega celebration and decided to take it out on her by repeatedly flogging her.

The series of violent strokes to her back with a dog chain has left permanent scars on the young lady who hails from Begoro.

The young lady who is cohabitating with the farmer is alleged to be in the habit of stealing his money and buying alcohol with it disregarding her boyfriend's constant complaints.
