A 19-year-old unemployed young man has been remanded into prison custody for three criminal charges. The case was heard at the Asante Abuakwa Circuit Court in the Atwima Nwabiagya South Municipality.
The young man, named Aaron Attah, admitted that he committed the crimes when they were read to him in court. He pleaded guilty to unlawful entry, attempted stealing, and causing harm.
The court was presided over by Ms. Rosemond Dodua Agyiri, who listened carefully to the facts of the case. She ordered that Attah should return to the court on December 18 of this year for the next hearing.
Police Detective Inspector Alexander Agbekpornu presented the details of the case to the court. He explained what happened on the day of the incident and how the convict was arrested.
According to the prosecutor, the complainant is a Disc Jockey named Owusu Boakye Yiadom who lives in Nketia. The convict, on the other hand, lives at Adankwame near Abuakwa.
He said that on December 02 of this year, the complainant was on his way to work around 11 in the morning. He decided to pass by his mother’s house before continuing his journey.
When the complainant reached the house, he heard strange and unexpected noises coming from inside. The unusual sound made him suspicious, so he moved closer to check what was happening.
He carefully observed the situation to find out where the noise was coming from. When he looked closely, he saw Attah trying to open the door to the main room.
The complainant chose not to confront him immediately and instead stayed outside while watching quietly. He decided to monitor the suspect’s next action to understand what he was doing.
Suddenly, he saw Attah climbing down from the ceiling in an attempt to escape the house quickly. The complainant rushed inside immediately to stop and arrest him.
Attah fought back violently when the complainant tried to arrest him, and he used a knife to attack him. He stabbed the complainant in the right shoulder and stomach, causing him to bleed heavily.
After stabbing the complainant, Attah tried to run away from the scene quickly. He fled from the house in fear of being caught.
The complainant, despite his injuries, shouted for help to alert people nearby. Some neighbours heard the noise and joined the chase to stop the suspect.
The neighbours helped to pursue Attah and eventually caught him after a short chase. They assisted in holding him down and then handed him over to the Asuofua Police.
The complainant was immediately taken to the Suntreso Government Hospital for emergency care. The doctors there examined him and decided to transfer him to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital for further treatment.
He was admitted at KATH because his injuries were serious and needed specialist attention. He continued to receive treatment while police officers continued their investigation.
According to the prosecution, Attah confessed to the offences during his caution statement. He admitted that he entered the house, attempted to steal, and stabbed the complainant.
The police completed their investigations and put the necessary charges together for the court. They then brought Attah before the Asante Abuakwa Circuit Court to face trial for his actions.
The court listened to all the details provided by the prosecution and took note of Attah’s guilty plea. The judge decided that remanding him in prison custody was the best decision for now.
Attah will remain in prison until his next court appearance on December 18. The court will continue with the case on that date to determine the appropriate punishment for him.
