Mason remanded for defiling his daughter's friend

Kumasi, Nov.7, GNA - A Kumasi circuit court has remanded a 32-year-old mason for allegedly defiling his daughter's playmate aged 10. Isaac Ankamah Turkson, who pleaded not guilty, will re-appear before the court tomorrow. Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector Comfort Baffour-Kyei told the court that the accused person lured the victim into his room after she had run an errand for him and sexually abused her. He afterwards warned the victim not to disclose it to anyone or he would kill her. The girl fell ill and when her mother questioned her she told her what the accused person had done to her. A report was made to the police and Turkson was arrested.
