Kumawu (Ash), April 9, GNA- The Kumawu circuit court on Wednesday sentenced a 32-year-old farm labourer to 12 years' imprisonment in hard labour for defiling a 11-year-old primary school pupil. Moro Busanga pleaded guilty.
Police Inspector Anthony Godfred Sekyi told the court that the accused stayed with the victim's father at Anananya village in the Sekyere East district of Ashanti.
He said on Saturday, March 20, this year, the victim's father travelled to Woraso, leaving the victim and her brother in the house with the accused.
