A Kumasi circuit Court has sentenced a mechanic, Louis Opoku, to five years imprisonment in hard labour for causing harm.
He pleaded guilty.
Assistant Superintendent of Police Albert Odei-Quansah told the court that about six months ago the convict's junior brother sexually assaulted Kwabena Joe's niece, leading to his imprisonment for 10 years.
This did not go down well with Opoku and on April 10 he armed himself with a cutlass, attacked and inflicted deep wounds on Joe.
Opoku went into hiding until July 31 when the police arrested him.
