Another rape case at Assin Adadiemtem; victim hanged to die

This comes on the back of the alleged defilement of a 4-year-old girl in the same community.

The teenager, who is an 18-year-old Junior High School (JHS) graduate said her attacker called her to send her while she was helping her sister to sell eggs at her end.

She told Accra-based Joy FM that in the process of taking the money from him, he dragged her into his room, tore her dress and had sex on several occasions with her.

She said she attempted calling her mother but the man, who has been identified as Ebenezer, took the phone from her and destroyed it.

She was also screaming but no one could hear her voice as the man’s radio was loud.

According to her, Ebenezer, out of anger, slapped her and tied a rope around her neck and hanged her inside his room. He subsequently assaulted her physically until she fell from the rope and hit her head on the floor and fell unconscious.

The victim has now had to live with the scar from the noose of the rope tied around her neck by her assailant.

The mother of the victim said her daughter is now depressed following the incident.

She said she is surprised that the man who is said to be a teacher in the community, could do that to her daughter, considering he is close to the family.

The suspect is currently nowhere to be found. The mother of the victim said the family members of the suspect are in the meantime pleading with her to have the issue settled at home.

But she has since disagreed and is demanding justice for her daughter.
