The stepfather of a 16-year-old girl (name withheld) reportedly impregnated her in Kasoa Ofaakor in the Central Region by cutting her with a cutlass.

The victim claims that her stepfather began having sex with her when she was eleven years old. Two months ago, when she became pregnant, he offered to give her money to pay for abortion pills, but she declined and chose to use the cash to purchase food instead.

She then revealed the truth to her stepfather, which infuriated the suspect, who began beating the pregnant girl with a pestle before cutting her with a cutlass.

The victim was taken emergency care to the Mother and Child Hospital in Kasoa, where she is now.

She said that she fears returning home after being released from the hospital to Kasapa News' Yaw Boagyan.

While efforts are being made to apprehend the suspect who is evading capture, the case has been submitted to the Kasoa Police for investigation.
