 The incident, according to reports, occurred at Kasoa Ofaakor in the Awutu Senya East Municipality of the Central Region.

Police sources indicate the suspect on several occasions ‘fingered’ his victim
to pave enough space for penetration, a situation which has widened her private
part.

said the victim is an orphan whose parents passed years ago and has since been
in the custody of Mr Larbie.

crime since then,” she narrated.
