An 18-year-old lady identified as Princess Owusu-Ansah, has been sentenced to three years imprisonment in London, for pouring boiling water on her friend and recording the attack on her mobile phone.
It was reported that Princess Owusu-Ansah, 18, also stabb£d her victim in the leg in revenge over ch£ating allegations involving her boyfriend. She carried out the horrific attack after turning up at the victim’s home in East Dulwich, southeast London, on 2 February.
A harrowing video clip ended up becoming viral on Snapchat, which showed the victim cowering under a duvet.
She then screams in pain as Owusu-Ansah takes a kettle of boiling water and throws it over her.
Seconds before launching the attack, the suspect is heard accusing the victim of sleeping with ‘people’s man’ and accusing her of ‘thinking she can get away with it’.
After delivering a series of punches, she grabs a silver knif£ and bangs it on the radiator before stabbing her victim in the leg.

The victim eventually managed to escape and fled into the street, before being taken to Kings College Hospital for non-life threatening stab wounds.
Local law enforcement officials opened an investigation after a concerned citizen who had seen the terrifying video on Snapchat, alerted them to the crime of Owusu-Ansah attacking her friend.
Subsequently, Police arrested her on 5 February, 2023.
While appearing in custody at Croydon Magistrates’ Court on February 6, Owusu-Ansah admitted guilty of grievous bodily harm and criminal damage at Inner London crown court.
Prosecutor Claudette Hamilton told how the defendant “gratuitously” filmed the attack on her friend using a mobile phone and then put it on social media.
Owusu-Ansah has remained in custody up until her sentencing on Tuesday, 9 May, where she was handed down a sentence of three years in prison.
