The
District Magistrate's Court handling the case of rape against ace
broadcaster Kwesi Kyei Darkwa will today give directions on how the
matter should be prosecuted, following the desire of the alleged victim
to discontinue the case.
State prosecutors last week requested
for the case to be adjourned to January 28 to enable them serve lawyers
for KKD the bail of indictment and summary of facts available to them.
The
state is going ahead with the case despite the decision by the alleged
victim to not to corporate with the police in their investigations.
At
the last adjournment, the state prosecutor ACP Moses Atimbilla told
journalists outside the court that they have enough facts to prosecute
the case, despite a decision by the alleged victim Ewureff Orleans
Thompson, to stop corporating with the police in their investigations.
The
ace broadcaster was arrested on December 27, 2014 following a report
made to the airport police accusing him of raping the lady.
He has maintained his innocence, insisting it was consensual sex.
On
January 13 this year, the lady in a letter addressed to the Attorney
General and copied to the police, the Registrar of the court and state
prosecutors expressed her lack of interest in the case, insisting she
will no longer corporate with investigators. She cited the trauma she
was subjected to, especially on social media as the reason for change of
mind.
KKD also apologised for his part in the issue and pleaded with the media to respect the privacy of the two families. |
