KKD saga: Court directs prosecution of case today
The District Magistrate's Court handling the case
of rape against ace broadcaster Kwesi Kyei Darkwa
will later Thursday give directions on how the
matter should be prosecuted, following the desire
of the alleged victim to discontinue the case.

State prosecutors last week requested for the case
to be adjourned to January 28 to enable them serve
lawyers for KKD the bail of indictment and summary
of facts available to them.

The state is going ahead with the case despite the
decision by the alleged victim to not to corporate
with the police in their investigations.

At the last adjournment, the state prosecutor ACP
Moses Atimbilla told journalists outside the court
that they have enough facts to prosecute the case,
despite a decision by the alleged victim Ewureff
Orleans Thompson, to stop corporating with the
police in their investigations.

The ace broadcaster was arrested on December 27,
2014 following a report made to the airport police
accusing him of raping the lady.

He has maintained his innocence, insisting it was
consensual sex.

On January 13 this year, the lady in a letter
addressed to the Attorney General and copied to
the police, the Registrar of the court and state
prosecutors expressed her lack of interest in the
case, insisting she will no longer corporate with
investigators.

She cited the trauma she was subjected to,
especially on social media as the reason for
change of mind.

KKD also apologised for his part in the issue and
pleaded with the media to respect the privacy of
the two families.
