Nkawie (Ash), Sept. 17, GNA – The Nkawie
Circuit Court has remanded a purchasing manager of Amajaro Cocoa Buying Company
for attempting to murder a co-tenant at Mpasatia in the Atwima-Mponua District.

Nana Boakye Yiadom is said to have without
any provocation threatened Afia Owusuwaa (the complainant) with a cutlass and
attempted to harm her without any provocation.

He pleaded guilty and would reappear before
the Court presided over by Mr Michael Johnson Abbey on September 30 for
sentence.

Police Inspector Ruth Gborson told the Court
that the accused and complainant were co-tenants at Mpasatia.

She said on September 1, while the
complainant was cooking, the accused emerged from his room and insulted her as
being a prostitute, held her hair, pulled a cutlass and attempted to slash her.

The prosecutor said other co-tenants in the
house intervened and retrieved the cutlass from the accused.

A report was made to the Nkawie police and
the accused was arrested, charged with the offence and brought before the
court.
