Chief Inspector Amoah added that the victim told her mother that on January 28, 2016 the accused invited her to his room at Breman Amoanda for a discussion where he offered her a drink in a glass suspected to be diluted and after drinking it she became weak and he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her.
The prosecutor stated that the victim’s mother informed her husband who reported the case to the Domestic Violence and Victim Support Unit (DOVVSU) of the Ghana Police Service at Breman Asikuma and the accused was arrested.
Prosecution stated that a police medical report received from Dr. A. Amponsah of Our Lady of Grace hospital at Breman Asikuma indicates that the victim has been defiled.
