Accra July 6, GNA - A twenty-year-old unemployed man has appeared before an Accra Circuit Court for raping his brother's wife. The accused, Promise Gakpetor, pleaded not guilty, and would re-appear on July 15.

On June 28, the victim, 26 and a trader attended a party and returned home late and drunk, at which time her husband had not returned home. At about midnight, Promise took advantage of the absence of the victim's husband and had sex with her without her consent.
