A 25-year-old cook in Ho, Jemima Kwaku, is facing trial at the Ho Circuit Court for allegedly burning her 11-year-old son with a heated pressing iron as punishment for misplacing his pen.
Prosecutors told the court, presided over by Abdul O.
Hakeem, that the accused locked the boy in a bedroom at Ho Barracks-New Town on July 15, heated the iron, and pressed it against his belly, chest, lips, shoulders, and back.
She later warned him not to reveal the assault.
