705 A 22-year-old Senior High School (SHS) student, Patrick Nyarkoh, who defiled 18-month-old twin-sisters at Nsuta in the Assin South District of the Central Region has been sentenced to 10 years imprisonment in hard labour by a Cape Coast Circuit court. The convict admitted the offence of defilement but claimed he was under the influence of an unknown evil spirit and pleaded for forgiveness. “Their mother left them in my care while I was charging my phone in my room. I fell asleep in no time and before I realized, I had sex with the younger of the twins and I believe I was possessed by an unknown evil spirit to do so, I am pleading for forgiveness,” he implored the court as he wept profusely.
