A fisherman from Moree, who assaulted his sister-in law’s husband, has been remanded in Police Custody by a Magistrate’s Court in Cape Coast.

Kobina Annan, the accused, pleaded guilty to assault and sentence was deferred to Thursday, March 29, by the presiding judge, Mr. Kwame Ohemeng-Mensah.

Prosecuting, Inspector Samuel Amoako, told the Court that the complainant, Paa Kwesi, who is the manager of Andy-12 Restaurant at Moree, was married to one Nana Amaaba, a sister of the accused person’s wife, Ms. Helena Donkor.

He said the accused person had separated from his wife pending final dissolution of the marriage.
