What really happened?
The prosecution, Chief Superintendent of Police, Patience Mario, said the complainant, Deborah Kponyi, is a trader who has been in a relationship with Kelvyn Boy for more than 10 years. Together, the two have daughters.
According to the prosecution, the “relationship has been full of abuse.”
He said the accused and the complainant used to stay together, but the singer packed and left the house to a new place.
The prosecution said one of their children fell sick and needed medical attention, so Ms Kponyi contacted the savings and loan company where they saved money, but was told the account was empty.
Chief Supt. Mario said the complainant tried to reach Kelvyn Boy to inform him of the need to take their sick daughter to a hospital for medical attention but to no avail.
The prosecution said Ms Kponyi saw the accused’s vehicle, so she followed the car. But, she realised that it was a lady who was driving the vehicle.
He said the complainant approached the lady to ask the whereabouts of the accused.
The lady driving the car called the accused, who came down from a two-story building and allegedly attacked the complainant, pushed her down before stamping her ribs.
The prosecution said the accused allegedly pushed the complainant out of the house and used an iron rod to hit her back and right-hand several times until she was rescued by a motorbike rider who had taken her to the said building.
He said a few minutes later, one Kelvin, a worker at the complainant’s shop called to inform her that the accused had allegedly come to the shop and made away with her speaker, Nasco 32 inch TV set and two chairs valued at ¢5,500.
