A neighbour of the alleged abusive
caretakers told Luv News’ Erastus Asare Donkor that the two-year-old boy’s
hands were burnt with a hot electric iron.
Some of Samuel Kwarteng’s right
fingers are motionless, according to doctors.
Doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching
Hospital say they will have to clip all the dead fingers to enable them perform
plastic surgery to save the rest of the arm.
According the neighbour, Samuel
Kwarteng incurred the wrath of the two caretakers when he went to eat in
another neighbour’s home at North Suntreso.
Luv Fm's Erastus Asare Donkor
tells Adom TV News that Samuel’s father handed him over to the caretakers, Nana Oti and
Rita Oti, before traveling to Nigeria.
“The child has skin marks all over
his body, but that perhaps is the least of his worries. His right hand, from
the wrist to the fingers, is covered with a sore apparently from a burn that
looks deteriorating”, Erastus reports.
Nana and Oti had been hiding the
wound from the public, wrapping it constantly with pieces of cloth.
The couple has been picked up
by police.
They told police the child
accidentally dipped his hands in hot water, but neighbours say it is false.
