Father before tribunal for torturing son

The Daily Graphic reports that a 60-year-old man, who tied the hands of his eight-year-old son and subjected him to severe beating until the boy bled profusely from the mouth and nostrils, has been arraigned at an Accra Community Tribunal.

The Graphic in an inside page story says the accused, Atsu Yibor, allegedly subjected his son Paul Agbeko, to the inhuman treatment when the boy told him that he had lost the 100 cedis given to him as pocket money for school.

The paper says the court presided by Mr Kwadwo Owusu, convicted Atsu on his own plea guilt, but deferred sentence to July 23.
