The Prosecutor, Insp. Simeon Imhonwa, told the court that the accused committed the offence by forcefully having carnal knowledge of the girl and threatening to kill her if she told anybody.

“The girl, however, told her parents and the case was reported to the police and the accused was arrested.”
