An Asamankese Circuit Court presided over by Mr Kofi Akrowiah on Thursday sentenced Kofi Latevi 43, a farmer who assaulted and harmed his younger brother to three months imprisonment in hard labour on his own plea.
The court in addition, ordered Latevi to pay GH¢200 (Two million cedis) fine or in default serve 12 months imprisonment.
Prosecuting, Police Inspector Kate Ogyiri told the court that the complainant, Anthony Yaw Latevi was a junior brother of the accused at Gahian village near Mepom.
