From George Ernest Asare, Kumasi.
A 25-year-old man in Kumasi had the shock of his life when four robbers, including three teenagers armed to the teeth, grabbed his pregnant wife and sexually abused her in turns before robbing the couple of their brand new cell phone and some cash.
The robbers, including a 16-year-old, forced the man to watch the act with the two-month old pregnant woman, threatening to dismember him with their sharpened machetes if he indulged in any foul play.
The 16-year-old boy, who was identified as Kwaku Sarfo, was later arrested together with his accomplices by the police. The others were Kwadwo Atta, 18, Abdul Razak, 27, and Kofi Nyarko, 18.
They were remanded in prison custody by a Kumasi High Court to reappear on May 18, 2009 for the continuation of the case.
Briefing the court, presided over by Justice R. C. Azumah, the State Attorney, Mr Emmanuel Lawrence Otoo-Boison, said the pregnant woman resides at the Race Course area at Bantama while her husband stays at Asokwa in Kumasi.
He said around 9 p.m. on April 20, 2009 the husband visited his wife and as he was about to leave, the four robbers allegedly surrounded them and started brandishing their machetes, threatening to kill the man if he made any move.
He said they then ordered the woman to undress and when she hesitated, they forcibly undressed her, pinned her down and sexually abused her in turns.
He said anytime one of them was raping the woman and she was writhing in pain, the three others took guard to keep the husband at a distance, but made sure that he watched the action.
Mr Otoo-Boison said having satisfied themselves, they robbed the couple of their phone and some money before bolting.
He said the couple later reported the incident to the police and after investigations the robbers were arrested.
