Afrobeats star Kelvin Brown, known in entertainment circles as Kelvyn Boy, has been granted GH¢200,000 bail by the Adentan Circuit Court.
The ‘Down Flat’ hitmaker was accused of stamping on his girlfriend Deborah Kponyi’s ribs and inflicting wounds on her body with an iron rod.
He has since pleaded not guilty to charges of assault.
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.
They have two 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 the girlfriend contacted a savings and loans company where they saved money, but the account was empty, to her surprise.
All attempts to reach the accused to inform him of the need to take their sick daughter to a hospital for medical attention proved futile.
The prosecution said the complainant saw the accused’s vehicle passing, so she followed the car. But, the complainant later realised that it was a lady who was driving.
The complainant then approached the lady to ask the whereabouts of the accused.
The said lady called the accused, who came down from a two-storey building and allegedly attacked the complainant, pushed her down and stamped 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.
The case has been adjourned to Friday, 18 March 2022.
