On the other hand, in the early hours of this Wednesday morning, December 29, police officer Kris Sansurooah, 29 years old and assigned to the Tourism Police of the Metropolitan Police of the South Division, was arrested for domestic violence following a statement made by his wife, also a police officer and assigned to the Central Criminal Investigation Department.
The 28-year-old policewoman went to the Triolet police station to file a complaint against her husband. On the evening of Tuesday, December 28, they returned home with their daughter around 11:40 p.m. after attending a party. Her husband, she says, was drunk. At one point while she was feeding her daughter, an argument broke out between her husband and her. He grabbed her by the neck and violently pushed her against the wall of her room. The policewoman hit her head against the wall.
The policewoman said she tried in vain to bring her husband back to his senses but without success. He slapped her on the left cheek. Faced with this situation that was getting worse, the young woman then called her brother. His brother, sister and two cousins soon arrived. Meanwhile, Kris Sansurooah locked the main door. When she saw them, her husband had to hit her in the head while she held their daughter. Because her life was in danger, she says, her brother and cousin had to break the glass panel of a window so they could take the key to the door to open it. The officer immediately left her home and went to the police station.
Her brother and cousin sustained hand injuries while breaking this window panel. Kris Sansurooah was arrested when he showed up at the police station shortly after 2 a.m. As for the policewoman, she took up residence at her brother’s house in the village.
