New details have emerged following earlier reports about the alleged stabbing of Gilda Nortey by her husband, former New Patriotic Party parliamentary candidate for Klottey Korle, Valentino Nii Noi Nortey, in the United States.

GhanaWeb earlier reported that Valentino Nii Noi Nortey was arrested on January 20, 2026, after he allegedly stabbed his wife.

According to a court affidavit sighted by GhanaWeb on January 27, 2026, the victim arrived naked at the Pennsylvania State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center with stab wounds inflicted with a black Home Hero-brand knife.

The affidavit stated that a staff member of the hospital contacted police around 9:15 a.m. on Saturday, January 17, 2026, after Gilda Nortey arrived at the emergency room for treatment.

“Staff at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center called Paxton police at about 9:15 a.m. Saturday, after a naked woman with stab wounds arrived at their emergency room,” police wrote in the affidavit of probable cause.

The document further revealed that Valentino Nii Noi Nortey admitted responsibility for the stabbing.

“According to the affidavit, Nortey admitted to Officer Logan Becker that he stabbed his wife at their home.”

It also disclosed that the couple’s children were present when the incident occurred. Police found all five children, aged between 5 and 17, in the house upon arriving at the scene.

The affidavit added that Nortey attempted to wash blood from the knife after the incident.

The court document stated that the knife appeared to have been washed and had no visible blood on it.”
