An Accra Gender Based Violence Court today heard from the fourth prosecuting witness in the case involving two foreign Missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints of who have been accused of defiling a 14 year old girl at Odorkor in Accra. The two accused persons, Omale Ojunugwo Uwa alias Elder Omale, a Nigerian and Thatayanoane Keeng alias Elder Keeng a Batswana are tenants who live in the same house with the victim and are in the country to do evangelism on behalf of their church. The two have since been kept in police custody and have pleaded not guilty to the charges leveled against them. Mr. Daniel Blankson, the victim’s guardian testified to the court presided over by Mrs Georgina Mensah-Datsa that he became very furious when the victim who is his house help told him that the two missionaries had defiled her on several occasions. He said he had the whole interrogation with the victim taped and recorded on his mobile phone as evidence. During proceedings Monday, the birth weighing card of the victim was tendered as the third exhibit by the prosecuting witness. Initially, Counsel for the accused during cross examination, objected to the weighing card and proposed that a birth certificate is more appropriate but the trial judge overruled his objection, stating that the weighing card contains all medical records and valuable information of a child after birth and is therefore a more credible document. The prosecutor, ASP Sarah Ekua Acquah later informed the court that the next prosecuting witness to testify on the case is the medical doctor who examined the victim. The case has been adjourned to Wednesday, 7th July 2010. Story by Maame Afua Enos/Asempa News/Ghana
