Accra, Nov. 22, GNA - An Accra Circuit Court has remanded a 25-year-old man for allegedly defiling a ten-year old mentally retarded girl.

He said on November 19, this year, at about 1200 hours whilst the school was on break, the girl went to a refused dump, ten metres away from her school, close to the big Odorna gutter to ease herself.
