He said on July 5 this year, the complainant returned from church at about 8:30pm to find her daughter crying in the room and when she was questioned, she said it was Josiah who had defiled her. Chief Inspector Sarfo said Madam Quansah then called her brother who also lived in the same compound to come and witness what had happened. He said they then invited Josiah to come and provide answers to the allegations which he denied Madam Quansah, therefore, reported the matter to the police. He said police investigations revealed that the bedsheet on Madam Quansah's bed was covered with stains of semen and Josiah was subsequently arrested.
