A 52-year-old Togolese trader has been arrested by the Kotobabi District Police Command for pouring boiling water on her granddaughter because the child had allegedly stolen her money.<\/p>\n
Rosemary Sodoli, after the offence, Daily Guide gathered, locked up the child in the chamber and hall apartment in which they live at Kpehe, a suburb of Accra adjoining Accra Newtown.<\/p>\n
The victim was said to have sustained various degrees of burns, from face down to the stomach, and was lying helplessly on a mat in the room when the police stormed the house at about 12 noon, following a tip-off.<\/p>\n
After locking up the child, who was then in pain, Sodoli went to church and later went to a drinking spot to enjoy with a bottle of Star beer at about 1.00pm yesterday, when the police pounced upon her.<\/p>\n
Narrating the story to Daily Guide, the commander in charge of the Kotobabi District Police Station, ASP Elizabeth Dankwah, said the incident happened on Saturday April 17, 2011, at Kpehe, near The St Paul\u2019s Catholic Church, Accra New Town.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe information was that after pouring the hot water on the victim, the suspect also locked her up in the room and went to church.\u201d She noted that the Kotobabi Police got to the scene around 12:30pm but could not immediately free the victim because of a huge padlock Sodoli used in securing the place.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the name of the child was mentioned, she responded from inside the room, sorrowfully,\u201d she added. She said when the room was finally broken into, the child was lying on a mat helplessly, with various degrees of burns from the face down to the stomach.<\/p>\n
\u201cPolice later had information that suspect Rosemary Sodoli, a Togolese and a grandmother of the victim, was at a nearby drinking spot enjoying and so we quickly rushed there to arrest her for interrogation,\u201d the Kotobabi Police Commander added.<\/p>\n
The Kotobabi Police boss stated that information gathered indicated that the child had been living with the suspect for the past five months as a servant. \u201cOur investigations revealed that the victim does not attend school but sells pure water for the grandmother.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some residents of the house, who spoke on anonymity to the paper, also indicated that the child had known no peace ever since the suspect brought her from their village in Togo.<\/p>\n
\u201cA co-tenant warned the woman a week ago to stop molesting the child or she would report her to the police, but this woman did not care,\u201d one of the tenants told Daily Guide Guide. The commander said the child had been taken to the hospital for medical attention as the police prepare the suspect for court.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
