THE Kumasi Circuit Court has sentenced a labourer, who inflicted several cuts on the body of his co-worker to five years imprisonment with hard labour.
The convict, Kwaku Nimoh, 26, pleaded guilty to the charge of causing unlawful harm.
Presenting the facts to the court, presided over by Mr Emmanuel Amo-Yartey, Chief Inspector Comfort Kyei Baafuor said Nimoh and the complainant, Kwabena Dankwah were labourers and resident at Adum and Daban, both suburbs of Kumasi respectively.
Chief Kyei Baffuor said on June 14, 2010, Nimoh and Dankwah had an argument over the history of Kumasi and Kumawu.
In the course of the heated argument, the Nimoh got offended. However, both were restrained from fighting by other workers around.
According to the prosecutor, at about 8.00 p.m. the same day, whilst Dankwah was at a car washing base taking his supper, the Nimoh emerged from the dark armed with a broken glass and attacked Dankwah who suffered multiple injuries on the neck, jaw and left hand.
Dankwah was rushed to the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) where he was admitted for a night and discharged the following day.
Nimoh,who was later picked up by the police, admitted causing harm to his Dankwah, stating that he was under the influence of alcohol.
