A 25-year-old auto mechanic, Eric Togbe Yao Awuku, in New Fante Town near Daboase did the unthinkable when he picked a three-year-old child from her sleeping mother's arms at about 2:30 a.m. and defiled her, resulting in serious health complications.
The child is now unable to defecate through the anus and passes both urine and faeces through her female genital with accompanying blood.
The child is currently on admission at the Effia-Nkwanta Regional Hospital and medical doctors are doing everything possible to save her life.
Awuku, had since been arrested and is helping the police in their investigations.
Speaking to The Mirror , the Western Regional Police Public Relations Officer, ASP Olivia Ewurabena Adiku, said at dawn on Monday, January 13, 2013, the child and the mother, Felicia Aidoo, were fast asleep in their room at Mpohor.
According to ASP Adiku, Awuku then sneaked into the room, took the sleeping child and vanished into the bush, where he sexually assaulted her.
ASP Adiku said some members of the community were awoken by the loud cry of the victim and traced the child's cry to the bush.
She said Awuku took to his heels when he saw the search party.
He was chased and apprehended, while the child was rushed to the hospital.
