'Looking at the facts, we don't see rape' - Lawyer of KNUST 'gang-rape’ students - www.asempanews.com

All six were in court for the first hearing of their case with the judge agreeing to a request by the prosecution that the accused be remanded as they continue investigations into the matter.

Lawyer Richard Adu Darko told the media: “these are students of KNUST who have been accused of rape

Looking at the facts that have been presented to us, honestly, we don’t see rape, but that’s what we have been accused of.

“And once someone is accused, the law says that that person is innocent until proven guilty or the person pleads otherwise.”

The accused are: Patrick Fosu, Edwin Nii Noi Quaynor, John Wilson, Kingsley Asiedu Andoh, Thompson Nii, and Assafua Eric.

The defence lawyer also disclosed that he will apply to a higher court to seek bail for his clients, among other things to allow them to write their examinations.

“At this material moment this is a court of the first instance, and they have been brought here for purposes of remanding them in lawful custody.
