Exposed: 50 Year Old Mason Apprehended for Defiling a 4 Year Old Girl

PETER ATTAH, a 50-year-old mason has been

apprehended by the Emefs Police Station for defiling

a four-year-old child under the pretext of driving

away mosquitoes hovering between the thighs of

the victim.

The culprit, a resident of the area, was nearly

lynched by angry neighbours at Mataheko in the

Kpone-Katamanso District of the Greater Accra

Region, where the incident occurred, after the

grandmother of the victim, caught him in the act.

Attah, after his arrest, was purported to have

explained to the police that he was trying to drive

away mosquitoes hovering between the thighs of

the minor, when he mistakenly inserted his finger

into the v**ina of the four-year-old girl, but did not

defile her.

However, a police medical report form endorsed by

medics at the Tema General Hospital was said to

have confirmed the act and elucidated that the

hymen (virginity) of the victim had been broken,

with sperms found in the girl’s v**ina.

Superintendent Kwesi Ofori, Dodowa District Police

Commander explained to DAILY GUIDE that on

December 18, 2013 at about 6:30pm, the

grandmother of the girl had briefly left her while she

was asleep in the house, when Attah, a neighbour,

took advantage of her absence to defile the little

girl.

According to him, the distraught grandmother

returned home to find the victim awake in the

company of Attah, but unable to walk and bleeding

heavily due to the act of defilement.

He said Attah was apprehended by some

neighbours after the grandmother raised the alarm,

but he attempted to settle the issue out of police

station and gave an amount of GH¢150 to the

grandmother for the victim to be sent to the

hospital for treatment.

The Dodowa District Police Commander, upon a tip-

off attempted to arrest Attah, but he got wind of it

and went into hiding.

A police medical report form was issued to the

victim’s grandmother to send the girl to hospital.

The medical report endorsed by a doctor duly

confirmed the act, stating also that traces of sperm

were found in and around the v**ina of the victim.

Attah, Superintendent Ofori noted, was apprehended

at his hideout at Pobeman near Amasaman in

Accra by police and brought to the station to face

the law.

The Dodowa Police boss condemned the act, saying

Atta would be arraigned in court this week.
