Prosecuting, Police Chief Inspector Oscar Amponsah told the court presided over by Mr. Justice Obeng Asante that, the complainant, Charity Owusu Ansah, is a seamstress apprentice at Wasa Akropong and the accused, a resident of Adukwa near Wasa Appiah Nkwanta.<\/p>\n
He said about 1530 hours on April 30, this year; the complainant visited her husband in his store at Wasa Akropong Township with her baby girl.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Amponsah said the complainant gave the baby to one Simon Addo, a younger brother of the husband, who was also sitting in the store and asked him to take care of the baby to enable her purchase some items from the market.<\/p>\n
The accused who was also sitting in front of the store opted voluntarily to take care of the baby and the complainant handed over the baby to her and left.<\/p>\n
30 minutes later, when the complainant returned from the market, the accused and her baby could not be found.<\/p>\n
He said the complainant made a report to the Wasa Akropong police but the Police could not trace the accused.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Amponsah said on May 5, Police extended the investigation to Adukwa Town and found the three-months-old baby with the accused and she was arrested.<\/p>\n
