A nasty scene nearly erupted when mother of Emmanuella Opoku aka Attaa, the eight-year-old girl who died as a result of the stomach complications she developed after allegedly being raped through the anus and vagina by a 16-year-old boy, clashed for the first time with father of the suspect in court on Wednesday.
Mrs. Beatrice Antwi, who had been traumatized by the disaster, saw her anguish and pain compounded following the hardhearted behavior exhibited by friends of the father of the suspect.
Mrs. Antwi, accompanied by some family members, had left the court premises searching for a car to go home but she suddenly came into contact with the suspect, Stanley Okyere Darko aka ‘Nana Osei’s father who was in the company of close pals, standing by the road side.
Before Mrs. Antwi could utter a word, friends of the suspect’s father started heaping insults on her as the mournful mother watched in trepidation.
The agitated-looking friends of Nana Osei’s father stressed that Mrs. Antwi could choose to kill the 16-year-old boy who is a first year student of Osei Kyeretwie Secondary School (OKESS) in Kumasi. They argued that they did not send Nana Osei to kill the innocent little girl so they cared less as to what Mrs. Antwi wished the court to do with the suspect who lived in the same neighborhood as the deceased’s mother at Kwadaso Estate.
The timely intervention of onlookers who rushed in to separate both sides curtailed what could otherwise have been a free-for-all fight between the two feuding families.
The Daily Guide reporter who tried to take shots of the incident was also not spared, as friends of the suspect’s father described him as ‘konkonsa ni’, to wit a gossip.
Meanwhile, the KMA Circuit Court, presided over by Mr. Adjei Frimpong, has remanded Stanley Okyere Darko to reappear in court on January 12 next year.
Considering that the suspected killer was a juvenile, the matter was held in camera. Earlier, Mr Adjei Frimpong disclosed that he had read the pathetic story in the Daily Guide the previous day, and said he was sorry for the bereaved family.
Daily Guide, in its Tuesday December 22, 2009 edition, published a
frontpage story with a headline, ‘Girl, 8, Dies from Anal sex’.
The story revealed how Stanley Okyere Darko on three occasions allegedly gave a bluish-looking drink to young Emmanuella Opoku, 8, which instantly sent her to sleep. Stanley then purportedly raped the young girl in the vagina and anus, damaging her fallopian tube, which led to her untimely death.
