Barely a week ago, Oscar Pistorious was reported as taking his fiancee for a burglar and shooting her severally. Early this afternoon, he was granted bail pending trial.
Oscar may be heaving a sigh of relief at this moment but one person who has just thrown himself into that muddy water is Black Star's Deputy skipper John Paintsil who is still in Ghana recuperating from the injury he sustained playing for Ghana against Burkina Faso during the AFCON in South Africa.
Eventhough information is scanty at this point, it was confirmed by the P.R.O. of the Greater Accra Regional Police Command Mr. Freeman that Paintsil was arrested for stabbing his wife and for slapping a good Samaritan who tried to prevent him from beating his wife.
According to the P.R.O., Paintsil's wife Richlove Paintsil scaled their wall into an adjoining house to avoid being stabbed further by her husband. Paintsil not being satisfied with his act, followed the lady to the next house. Fortunately, he met a man in the adjoining house who prevented him from beating his wife further but Paintsil slapped the man too for shielding his wife from him.
It is not clear at this point what might have pushed the ever-joyful Black Star defender to act that way.
The lady is reported to be responding to treatment.
However, the P.R.O. of the Greater Accra Regional Police Regional command has confirmed that Paintsil would be processed for court.
