A man captured in a viral video brutally assaulting a woman believed to be his wife has been remanded into police custody, along with two others accused of trying to threaten a witness.
The Magistrate Court at the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit has ordered all three suspects to remain in custody as investigations continue.
The main suspect, John Odartey Lamptey, also known as Nii Adjei, has been charged with Physical Assault under Sections 1(b)(i) and 3(2) of the Domestic Violence Act, 2007 (Act 732).
Two alleged accomplices — Louis Odartey Lamptey and Grace Kushie Lamptey — have been charged with Conspiracy to Commit a Crime, specifically threat of harm, after they allegedly attempted to attack a female tenant they suspected of recording and circulating the disturbing video.
The court has ordered the three to reappear on December 3, 2025.
Police say they are still searching for the assaulted woman and are urging the public to help locate her.
Anyone with credible information is asked to report to the nearest police station. The Police Service assures that all information will be treated with strict confidentiality.
The statement was signed by Chief Inspector Brigitte Babanawo, Public Relations Officer for the Criminal Investigation Department.
