Ebenezer Nyan, a 20-year-old student of the Central University College in Accra and a past student of Adisadel College has been sentenced to a fine of GH�1,200 for using hot pressing iron to burn an 18-year-old student of Adisadel College in Cape Coast.
Nyan pleaded guilty to assault and causing harm.
Inspector Daniel Agbezuhlor, prosecuting, told the court that Nyan who also lives at Takoradi is a school mate to the victim�s
brother.
He said on Sunday July 18 Adisadel College celebrated its centenary anniversary and past students attended the ceremony.
Inspector Agbezuhlor said Nyan, who had heard of the victim as being brilliant but had never met him before, went looking for him on campus and after finding him the convict demanded money from him but he did not give it to him.
Inspector Agbezuhlor said Nyan took offence and subjected him to severe beatings and later pressed his armpit and thighs with a hot
iron.
He said the victim had severe burns, reported the matter to the Regional Police and he was issued with a medical form to seek treatment at the hospital while Nyan was arrested.
