Akwasi Boateng <\/strong><\/p>\n

A 26-year-old man, Akwasi Boateng, has been slapped with a jail term after admitting to a robbery during which the victim\u2019s middle finger was slashed with a knife and with the weapon later held to her throat.<\/p>\n

The convict, a resident of Dunkirk in Kumasi, pleaded guilty to the robbery on the street of Bompata near the Dunkirk lorry station on August 26, 2019 at about 10:30 pm.<\/p>\n

He accordingly dispossessed the victim of her mobile phone and cash of GH\u00a21,100.<\/p>\n

At Kumasi Circuit Court 2, Akwasi Boateng was sentenced to 21 years imprisonment in hard labour for robbery and causing unlawful body harm to the victim, a trader at the Dunkirk cargo station.<\/p>\n

A co-defendant, 20-year-old Emmanuel Mensah, is still on trial for offences related to the incident.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel Mensah was apprehended and sent to the Zongo police station after he was traced to his hideout at Dunkirk, few days after the robbery incident.<\/p>\n

He was found in possession of the victim\u2019s mobile phone at the time of his arrest, using his whatsapp account.<\/p>\n

Upon his arrest, Mensah mentioned convict Akwasi Boateng as the person whom he had received the phone from, which development led to his arrest on the same day.<\/p>\n

Prosecutors said Boateng immediately confessed to the crime during police interrogations.<\/p>\n

He was charged and arraigned thereof after police investigation.<\/p>\n
