On September 29, the suspect who was deployed to a police checkpoint reportedly abducted a class 5 pupil of the Ave Xevi Roman Catholic Primary school located in the Akatsi North District of the Volta region and forcibly defiled her twice in a yet to be commissioned, newly built police station.
The victim was said to have had no previous sexual encounter prior to the barbaric incident.
The victim, an orphan who stays with the Aunt in a home just about 120 meters away from the police barrier had gone to fetch water in a nearby house when the incident took place.
The victim, according to the Aunt, was later dumped in a cassava farm nearby, in a very bad state by the suspect at a time the family had mounted a thorough search for her in the area.
She was later found by a neighbour who aided her home and had her narrate the ordeal she went through.
A formal complaint was lodged the same day at the Ave Dakpa police station and a medical form was issued to the victim.
The suspect was arrested but granted bail after a caution statement was taken from him.
A medical report issued under the signature of Dr Samuel J.G Forster, a Senior Medical Officer at the Saint Anthony’s hospital where the victim was sent for treatment, stated that the hymen of the victim was broken with bruises left around the left side of the vagina.
