Doesweh, Bolloh Statutory District, Grand Kru County – February 16, 2025 – A domestic dispute in Doesweh has taken a violent turn, leaving a 45-year-old man with severe injuries and his wife facing serious charges. Adolphus Norris was allegedly attacked by his wife, Patricia Wesseh, who is accused of slashing his genitals with a razor blade upon his return home after being absent for several days.
The incident occurred in the early hours of February 16, according to the Liberia National Police (LNP). Norris returned to their home in the Doesweh community after an absence, reportedly triggering a jealous rage in Wesseh.

Police investigators, led by Inspector Darpo Karweah and Jerome Wesseh, responded to the scene. Wesseh reportedly confessed to the assault, claiming her actions were fueled by jealousy over her husband’s extended absence. She alleged he had been sleeping away from home for several days, leading her to believe he was unfaithful.

Residents of the Doesweh community reported that Wesseh had previously accused her husband of cheating and neglecting his marital responsibilities, citing his frequent absences as unbearable and emotionally devastating.
