A 33-year old man, James Obeng, who was allegedly caught red-handed cuddling a married woman paid dearly with his left eye when the woman's husband stabbed him in the face with a broken Guinness bottle.

Mr Obeng, whose left eye was virtually popped out is on admission at the 37 Military Hospital, where he underwent surgery.

The assailant, Kennedy Kabu Ocansey, a driver of the Volta River Authority, was remanded in prison custody when he appeared before a Tema Circuit Tribunal on Tuesday.

Ocansey, who was on Police enquiry bail pleaded not guilty to the charge of causing harm.

His counsel argued that he was provoked by the compromising position in which he found Obeng with his wedded wife at about 21:30 hours on April 21, at Tema Community Seven.

Obeng, who carried their weeding pictures to the court, said he has issued several warnings to both his wife, Happy, and Obeng about their relationship but these have fallen on deaf ears.

Mr Ringo Cass Azumah, Chairman of the tribunal, said in law if someone catches another man and his wife in adulterous situation and inflicts any injury, the punishment is only reduced and that he would like to see the condition of the victim before he considers granting bail.

The tribunal adjourned to Tuesday May 22.
