Her sentencing follows an earlier directive by the court for a pregnancy test to be conducted to determine her medical status before the next line of action is taken.
Asare pleaded guilty to the man slaughter of her boyfriend, Omane, a mobile phone dealer popularly known as Anelka.
She was convicted of attacking Omane with acid on November 29, 2024, in Koforidua.
Prosecutors revealed that the couple's relationship had been plagued by "frequent misunderstandings and allegations of infidelity," with Vera frequently threatening women she suspected of flirting with Omane.
The court heard that the violence peaked while Omane was asleep in his room one day.
The victim's screams alerted his landlord, who rushed him to the Adweso Clinic. From there, he was moved to the Eastern Regional Hospital and finally to the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital for specialised treatment.
Despite months of intensive medical care, Omane succumbed to his injuries in July 2025.
He has since been buried, leaving behind a three-year-old child shared with Asare.
Student dies from poisoning
Last week, the management of the University of Energy and Natural Resources (UENR) confirmed the tragic death of a final-year student, Godfred Akomaning.
The school also disclosed what caused the death of Akomaning, who was pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Petroleum Engineering.
Graphic Online reported that the university said the student died on March 21, 2026, while receiving treatment at the Sunyani Teaching Hospital.
A medical report from the hospital identified the cause of death as organophosphate poisoning.
Organophosphate poisoning occurs when the human body reacts to chemical compounds commonly found in certain agricultural products and chemical agents.
The school has said further investigations will be carried out to establish how Akomaning ingested the chemical compounds.
