The alleged
criminal rape caseinvolving one Newton
Neffie continued recently at the Bundung Magistrates' Court before Magistrate
Kumba Sillah-Camara. The accused, Newton Neffie, was alleged of raping a
British lady.
Testifying, Detective Abdoulie Sowe told the court that on
the day in question, he was on duty at his office at Bakoteh Police Station
around 11:00am when he received
a telephone call about the alleged rape. He added that he then rushed to the
scene with Chief Superintended Commissioner Yankuba Sonko who is now the crime
management coordinator. He adduced that when they reached the scene, they met
the British woman lying down crying aloud. "We met her bleeding all over her
body, she could not talk and two of her hands were tied behind her back with a
rope," said Inspector Sowe.
He further revealed that they then called SukutaHealthCenter
to come to their aid but were informed to take her to the health centre. They
then searched and arrested the accused person in the house. "The British woman
was taken to RVTH, admitted and later discharged," he added.
Hearing continues.
