Later, there was a misunderstanding between the accused person and his wife, ASP Acquah said, adding that at that point, the 16-year old daughter informed the mother that the accused person had been having sexual intercourse with her and her younger sister.
According to the prosecution, the 16-year old told her mother that the accused person threatened to take her to her grandmother in the village should she ever reveal the sexual escapades to her mother.
ASP Acquah told the court that the last time the accused had sex with the 16-year old girl was on November 11.
The mother of the victims then reported the matter to the police which issued them with medical forms for examination.
