The High Court in Accra has sentenced Abdulai Kadiri, a mechanic, to life imprisonment for killing his 9-day-old baby girl at Prampram.
This was after a seven-member jury panel returned a 6-1 majority guilty verdict following a full trial before Justice Mary Maame Ekue Yanzuh.
Kadiri was accused of intentionally pouring a substance believed to be acid into the mouth of the child, Muniratu Awudu, which caused her death.
His girlfriend, Doris Martey, had refused to abort the pregnancy earlier, after a three-month romantic relationship.
