The Prosecution said an hour later, the accused together with three persons now at large allegedly wearing face mask returned to the complainant with the intent to offer her gold for sale.
Inspector Agyare said immediately the complainant entered her room to fetch some money to purchase the alleged gold, Fordjour and his accomplices attacked her in the room, tied her with a rope, covered her mouth with a cloth and robbed her of the money and quantity of gold mentioned above.
