The Assin Fosu District Court in the Central Region has remanded 28-year-old trader, Monica Ampomah, into police custody for three weeks after she allegedly inflicted deep cutlass wounds on her 10-year-old daughter. The accused had noticed a whitish discharge in the child’s underwear for over two months and suspected sexual abuse. Angered by the development, Madam Ampomah allegedly beat the Class Five pupil with a cane and a metal rod before inflicting a wound on her head, hand and finger with a cutlass. Dissatisfied with the child’s responses, she allegedly assaulted her with a cane and a metal rod before using a cutlass to inflict further injuries. Subsequently, Ampomah was arrested and cautioned, while the court ordered a mental examination to determine her fitness to stand trial.
