The convict pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own plea. Police Inspector Abraham Agyei Mensah told the court presided over by Mr Frank Owusu-Afriyie that on February 17, this year, at about 1500 hours, the accused and his friends went for a hunting expedition and incidentally set Maame Fatima Musah, the complainant’s farm ablaze.
