London Crown Court has sentenced an 18-year-old Ghanaian lady living in Royston Hertfordshire, in the United Kingdom, simply identified as Princess Owusu to three-year imprisonment for pouring hot water on a friend.

According to the report, Owusu poured hot water on a friend because she allegedly slept with her boyfriend.

In a Snapchat video, the suspect was seen filming herself when attacking her friend, accusing her of sleeping with her boyfriend.

According to the video, her friend was seen screaming for help under a blanket as Owusu took a kettle of hot water and pour it over her. While her friend was still screaming under a blanket, the accused brought out a knife and threatened to stab her.

After a concerned citizen saw the terrifying video on Snapchat, the citizen then alerted local authorities to the crime the suspect had committed.

Owusu was arrested and pleaded guilty to bodily harm with intent, Criminal damage. She was, however, sentenced to three years in prison.
