Policeman Rapes Girl In Cell

The Volta Regional Police Command has mounted a massive manhunt for one Constable Peter Owusu who is alleged to have defiled a 14 year old School girl held at the Police Station at Penyi near Dzodze. The Girl had been locked up for a misdemeanor and family sources say Constable Owusu took advantage of the girl and raped her and threatened to kill her if she told anybody. Madam Esther Osei, a Teacher at the Penyi LA Primary School who led the girl’s parents to the Hospital told Citi News in an interview that the girl was locked up because of a misunderstanding between her and a young boy which led to the girl cutting the boy with a cutlass. She said that the later revealed to her that the policeman forced to have sex with her. “After we went for her the previous day she later complained that the policeman forced and had sex with her twice and then threatened her with a handcuff and a gun not to reveal it to anyone” She said. Hospital reports from the Dzodze confirmed that the girl had been raped. Madam Esther Osei said that the policeman accepted the offence when they went to the police station with the girl and her parents for a medical form. Madam Esther Osei’s concern is that the case has not been revisited since and it seems the case is now a “foolish case”. “He initially denied the allegation but upon interrogation he admitted the offence. he confirmed that he did the thing. They invited the parents and the child to Ho, they interviewed them, and took their statements but up till now we have not heard anything from them. We don’t know whether the case is becoming a foolish case or what.” She said. Police Constable Owusu has since gone into hiding.
