Two persons have been remanded in prison custody by the Mankranso magistrate court for defiling a 12-year-old girl at Hwibaa in the Ahafo-Ano South district, resulting in her death.The pleas of Yaw Antwi, 18, chainsaw operator and Kwasi Anane, 26, a carver, were not taken. They will re-appear before the court on February 6.Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector George Nyansu told the court, presided over by Frank Owusu-Afriyie, that on December 11 last year, the mother of the girl detected that the she could not walk steadily and that she also complained of lower abdominal pains.The prosecution said an examination by the mother revealed big cuts in the victim’s genitalia so she was taken to the Mankranso district hospital for treatment but she died two days later on admission.Chief Inspector Nyansu said before the death of the victim, she mentioned Antwi as having had sex with her and warning her not to tell anyone about it else she would die.A report was therefore made to the Wioso police who arrested Antwi.The court heard that Antwi also mentioned Anane as the boyfriend of the girl and he was also arrested.Source: GNA
