The Assin Fosu District Court has remanded 28‑year‑old Monica Ampomah into police custody after she allegedly assaulted her 10‑year‑old daughter with a cutlass during a confrontation over suspected sexual abuse.
According to police sources, the incident unfolded when Ampomah reportedly noticed a whitish discharge in her daughter’s underwear while washing.
Troubled by the discovery, she questioned the child about who might be responsible.
Dissatisfied with the response she received, Ampomah allegedly resorted to violence.
She is said to have first beaten the girl with a cane, then struck her with a metal rod.
The assault escalated when she allegedly used a cutlass to inflict deep wounds on the child’s head, hand, and finger.
The disturbing case has drawn public concern, with authorities stressing the seriousness of the injuries sustained by the victim.
The child is currently receiving medical attention while investigations continue.
In court, prosecutors presented the facts of the case, leading to Ampomah’s remand as investigations proceed.
The judge emphasised the gravity of the allegations and ordered that the suspect remain in custody to assist police inquiries.
The case has been referred to social welfare officials, who are expected to provide support for the victim while the legal process unfolds.
