Tema, Feb. 23, GNA- A 24-year-old man who defiled a 10-year-old girl has been remanded in custody by the Tema Circuit Court "B".
Isaac Lanyo pleaded not guilty and would re-appear on March 1, 2004. Police Inspector Teye Martey told the court presided over by Mr Stephen Teye that the victim is a pupil and lives with Lanyo in the same house and that sometime ago the victim saw a hand purse with Lanyo and expressed interest.
