WOMAN, 88, IN RAPE ORDEAL (PAGE 3, DEC 20, 2010)

AN 88-year-old woman was rushed to the Essikado Government Hospital in coma last Friday after she had allegedly been raped by a 52-year-old man at Egyiresia, in Secondi.
Police sources told the Daily Graphic that the woman had been raped at Egyiresia, where she lived with her daughter, a kenkey seller.
They said Joseph Amoah, the suspect, had gone to the woman’s house, ostensibly to buy kenkey, but took advantage of the absence of the old woman’s daughter to rape the woman until she fell unconscious.
They said upon realising that the woman had become unconscious, Amoah “was hurriedly dressing up to flee when the woman’s daughter appeared on the scene and called for help”. But Amoah managed to escape from the scene.
The sources said the woman was rushed to the hospital, where she regained consciousness, and Amoah was later arrested and placed in police custody.
