A Dambai District Magistrate Court has remanded a 42-year-old man into police custody for the second time.
Ibrahim Anas, a suspect, who on May 28, 2024, inflicted multiple cutlass wounds on his pregnant wife on the farm in Banda of the Krachi Nchumuru District, has again been remanded into custody.
Mr Dramani Alhassan, Judge of the Dambai District Magistrate Court, has remanded the suspect to re-appear on June 27, this year.
Detective Chief Inspector S. K. Gavor, prosecuting, told the court that they were amending the charge sheet from causing harm to a first-degree felony due to the gravity of the case, hence the request for an extension of time.
Chief Inspector Gavor said the charge sheet would be taken to the Attorney General’s Department (AG) for the necessary advice.
He appealed to move the case from the Magistrate Court to the Circuit Court after broad consultation from the Attorney General’s office in his request, which was granted by the court.
