An Accra Circuit Court on Monday handed a 15-year jail term to a businessman, Kenneth Dzubey, who sexually assaulted his victim and also robbed her of a Tecno H6 mobile phone, and an amount of GHc400.00.<\/p>\n
Kenneth pleaded not guilty to the charge, but after trial, the court presided over by Mr Aboagye Tandoh found him guilty and sentenced him accordingly.<\/p>\n
He is to serve 15 years in prison with hard labour to serve as a deterrent to other young people who want an easy way in life to riches.<\/p>\n
Earlier, prosecution Police Chief Inspector Kwabena Adu told the court that Kenneth resides at Madina New Road while the complainant, whose name has been withheld resides at Adenta Animal Research.<\/p>\n
Chief Inspector Adu said on January 31, 2016 at about 2300 hours, the complainant a 27 year old businesswoman, boarded a commercial vehicle and alighted at \u201cKonkonsa\u201d Junction.<\/p>\n
On her way home, prosecution said, she realized that the convict was tailing her.<\/p>\n
He said the complainant sensing danger doubled her steps but in no time Kenneth caught up with her and he asked her where she was going.<\/p>\n
Police Chief Inspector Adu said the complainant told him that she was going home, so he offered to escort her home and the complainant obliged.<\/p>\n
On her way, prosecution said the convict suddenly pulled a knife and dragged her into a nearby bush and had sexual intercourse with the complainant.<\/p>\n
The prosecution said not satisfied with his actions, Kenneth then snatched the complainant’s Tecno H6 mobile phone and cash of GHs400.00.<\/p>\n
On February 1, 2016, the complainant reported the matter to the Police at Adenta and she was given a medical form to attend hospital where she was examined.<\/p>\n
Prosecution said the convict was later arrested at Madina Zongo Junction with a bag containing a knife, screw driver an iron rod and a touch light.<\/p>\n
