Woman burns 6 year old child vagina with hot iron in Ghana

A 29-year-old Togolese trader has been grabbed by the Odorkor District Police Command for burning a 6-year-old child with a hot iron. Jennifer Mensah, according to information, burnt the child with the iron after being told by a supposed man of God that the victim was possessed by an evil spirit.

Narrating the story to DAILY GUIDE, DSP Jordan Quaye, Odorkor District Police Commander said the police received a tip-off that the trader, Jennifer Mensah, had locked the child in a room at Odorkor near Kpogas furniture for the past two weeks because of a claim that the victim was possessed by an evil spirit.

When police personnel got to the scene around 1:00pm yesterday, the child was still locked inside the room. “We managed to break into the room to free the child,” the police capo said.

Bruises were found all over the victim’s body including the head, back, vagina and other vital places when she was physically examined at the police hospital. “We immediately arrested the suspect and sent her to the station for questioning,” the police stated.

Upon interrogation, the child revealed that the suspect, also her guardian, was not her biological mother. The victim said the suspect had locked her up in their room but brought her out every morning to torture her.

Meanwhile, Jennifer Mensah denied the charges when she was interrogated, blaming another maid for inflicting the burns on the victim.
