A fisherman at New Takoradi in the Western Region, who could not control his sexual urge after driving his wife away from their matrimonial home, is alleged to have defiled his seven-year-old sister-in-law.
He has been remanded in prison custody. Shortly after the act, the suspect gave the victim GH¢1.00 and asked her not to inform her sister who was behind the door trying to force it open.
Owing to the pain to which the victim was subjected, she could not lie about the incident as she was asked to. She was found crying and sweating profusely after her sister and some neighbours forced the door open.
The Western Regional Public Relations Officer, Chief Inspector Olivia Adiku, said the suspect, Joseph Koomson, 24, had a little misunderstanding with his wife and thus drove her out of the house.
Chief Inspector Adiku said even though the wife moved to stay with her parents in the same town, she left behind two of their children.
She said the victim constantly visited her nieces in the house of the suspect to play with them.
According to her, on the day of the incident, the victim visited her nieces and after hours of play, the victim requested to go home.
But the suspect was said to have told his little sister in-law to pass the night at his place, since it was too late to go home.
The Chief Inspector said the victim told the police that while she lay a mat on the floor to sleep, Koomson told her to come and sleep beside him on his bed.
The victim said while the other children were asleep, the suspect undressed her and forcibly abused her, and that while her sister, who was then looking for her was knocking on the door, Koomson was busily finishing his act.
The little girl was taken to the hospital the following day and doctor’s report confirmed it.
