The sex was rough, says rape victim
THE 19-year-old seamstress apprentice who was allegedly raped in the full glare of horrified onlookers at Asafo, a Kumasi suburb, on the dawn of Wednesday July 29, 2009, yesterday gave a tearful narration of her ordeal to a packed Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly (KMA) Circuit Court.
As she spoke, Eric Adjei Bawuah, the 28-year-old gym instructor also broke down and wept bitterly, with his wife looking on and the audience moaning.
The accused person was making his second appearance in court after he was remanded by the same court on Monday August 3, 2009.
MILITARY HOSPITAL SETS UP PROBE
| A board of enquiry is being set up by the management of the 37 Military Hospital to investigate allegations of detention and torture of some commercial drivers and their mates by military guards at the hospital as punishment for traffic offences in front of the hospital. ”The board will determine the charges to be levelled against the culprits,” a source close to the hospital’s management told the Ghanaian Times yesterday. This paper reported yesterday that for the past three weeks, recalcitrant drivers arrested by military guards for parking wrongly in front of the hospital or dropping off or picking passengers there, were allegedly detained in the hospital’s mortuary as punishment. The punishment also included cleaning and arranging corpses and mopping the mortuary floor.
