Narrating what transpired, Kwasi Ofori said Mawuli went to farm early on the Friday and waited for Kessewaa’s arrival. Upon seeing her, he forcibly had sexual intercourse with her and feared she would report, therefore slashing her back neck with a cutlass.
Mawuli, who usually return from the farm late in the evening was home about 11am that morning after changing the clothes he went to farm with whilst returning with his sandals in his hands.
He said the culprit had acted as if nothing had happened without knowing people had observed him when going to the farm and returning.
