John Pantsil's Wife drops stabbing case.

Ghanaian Footballer John Pantsil who was accused of stabbing his wife in the eye has been let off the leash after his wife decided not to pursue the case further, police have confirmed on wednesday.
Deputy Superintendent Freeman Tetteh said Paintsil had been accused of causing harm to his wife, Richlove, and assaulting the neighbour at the footballer's home in Accra on Friday. Tetteh wouldn't comment on reports that Paintsil had allegedly stabbed his wife in the eye in the incident.
Both dropped their cases against the former West Ham and Fulham defender, Tetteh said, although police had taken statements from Paintsil's wife and the unnamed neighbour, who contacted the police. Tetteh said that "no one can deny" there was an incident at the house. The police spokesman would not give any more details of the incident.
Paintsil was also hospitalised on Tuesday because of "exhaustion and dehydration," a spokesman for the player said, but was released later the same day.
"The past five days have taken a severe emotional toll on the entire Paintsil family, Richlove and John especially, and that toll manifested itself in the unfortunate incident this morning," said a statement from Ebenezer Aidoo, who identified himself as Paintsil's media adviser.
