A student who was sentenced to 25 years in prison in 2015 for robbing his victim of wedding rings, an HP laptop, a driving license, and GH¢53 has had his sentence reduced by 10 years on appeal.
Simon Sowah, alias Mason, had pleaded guilty simpliciter (admitted the offence) at his first appearance at the Circuit Court on October 7, 2015, and was convicted on his own plea.
The Circuit Court then handed him a 25-year custodial sentence with hard labour on October 7, 2015, when he appeared together with other accused persons.
Dissatisfied with the sentence, the convict, who had already served nine years of his sentence, appealed against his sentence in July this year.
