A UK-based Ghanaian has been jailed for stabbing her best friend who whisked her boyfriend away.
18-year-old Princess Owusu-Ansah of Royston, Hertfordshire, live-streamed an attack where she poured boiling water over a love rival before stabbing her in the leg.
Another UK-based Ghanaian narrated the details of the case to us via phone. The incident occurred at the victim’s house in East Dulwich on February 2. Owusu-Ansah let herself into her former friend’s home and attacked, accusing her of seeing her boyfriend.

A video shows the victim scrambling to pull a duvet over herself for protection as Mrs Owusu-Ansah, from Royston, Hertfordshire, started to throw punches.
She was then seen propping the phone on a table in the victim’s bedroom before rushing towards the woman wrapped in bedding with a kettle in her hand. The UK-based Ghanaian community has condemned her actions.
After chucking the hot water, the victim fell screaming between the bed and the wall, to which Owusu-Ansah cried “Don’t embarrass me” and “Don’t piss me off, I’ve got a knife” before climbing onto the bed and bashing the weapon against the wall. The woman appealed “Please, please” as Owusu Ansah continued to stab her multiple times.
At Inner London Crown Court Owusu-Ansah pleaded guilty to grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage. Owusu-Ansah was sentenced to three years imprisonment for grievous bodily harm with intent and criminal damage by Croydon Magistrates’ Court.
Speaking after the sentencing, Detective Constable Abigail Ellyatt said “I hope this result brings the victim some comfort in knowing this violent offender has been brought to justice, and I admire the strength and courage she has shown throughout.”
