A 48-year-old father who ruthlessly whipped his 20-year-old daughter for damaging a padlock upon arriving home late was on Friday, October 18, 2024, remanded in police custody by the Assin Fosu District Court.

The accused, Abraham Amoh Blankson, faced charges of assault and causing harm and is scheduled to appear before the court on Thursday, October 24.

This decision came after the prosecutor, Inspector Matilda Osaah Buabeng, requested the court to grant the police sufficient time for further investigations.

Inspector Buabeng informed the court presided over by Mr Abdul Majid Iliasu, that the complainant is Esther Amoh Blankson, a 20-year-old hairdressing apprentice residing in Old-Praso, a suburb of Twifo Praso in the Atti-Morkwa District of the Central Region, with her father.
