Prosecuting Superintendent of Police, Kweku Bempah told the court that the complainant Theophilus is a trader living at Asamankese and Prosper is a carpenter living at Anloga, while the accused person is a pensioner living in the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
He said in 2013, the accused person collected the above mentioned amounts from the complainants under the pretext of securing a United Kingdom visa for them at Odorkor.<\/p>\n
He told the court that the accused person on receipt of the money failed to honour her promise and went back to the United Kingdom.<\/p>\n
Superintendent Bempah said a report was made to the police.<\/p>\n
On September 30, the complainants spotted the accused in town and arrested her to the police.<\/p>\n
The prosecution told the court that in her caution statement, Rebecca stated that she used part of the money in processing the forms for the complainants.<\/p>\n
