The court presided over by Mrs Ruby Naa Adoley Quaison remanded him into Police custody pending investigations over the accused persons age.

However about 20:00 hours Afari spread a cloth on the floor for the victim, and her brother to sleep.

While sleeping Afari woke the victim up and asked her to caress his penis for him. The victim obliged and Afari smeared saliva on his penis and had sex with her in her vagina and anus.

Afari after the act warned her not tell anyone else she would die.
