A Father who allegedly conspired with two others to murder his 26-year-old step-daughter after gang-raping her has been arraigned before the Tema District Magistrate Court.<\/p>\n
Along with him in the dock are his two conspirators, Kwaku Obeng Debrah, 44, and Paul Yaw Adu, both drivers. The step-daughter, Mavis Owusu, was said to have been a witness in a case against her father, Kwabena Twum, 48, a plumber.<\/p>\n
Presenting the facts of the case, Chief Inspector Emmanuel Addai told the court, presided over by Mrs. Johana Yankson, that the deceased, a seamstress by profession, resided with Twum and her mother at Washington, a suburb of Zeenu near Ashaiman in the Tema metropolis.<\/p>\n
According to him, the deceased often went round the community with her sewing machine to mend clothes for residents. He stated that the deceased, who had gone on her usual rounds on December 31, 2010, was later found dead and lying naked in a supine position in an uncompleted building, with bloodstains all over her body, while her sewing machine was placed some five metres away.<\/p>\n
The incident attracted a large crowd to the scene. The prosecutor stated that Kwabena Twum, upon hearing the report, went to identify the deceased as a family member and thereafter left the scene and went into hiding.<\/p>\n
After investigations, the police arrested Twum at his hideout and later arrested the two other accused persons at Ashaiman. He pointed out that a post-mortem report on the deceased suggested that she had been gang-raped before being murdered.<\/p>\n
Inspector Addai said traces of sperms found in the deceased’s private parts had been sent for a DNA test, while the police had intensified their efforts to complete investigations. The suspects are to reappear on the March 10, 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
