A-48-year-old farmer, Afua Anane has been fined GH¢100 by the Nyinahin Magistrate Court for threatening to kill her fellow farmer, Madam Amma Ataa of Abofrem in the Atwima Mponua District.

The accused pleaded not guilty and would serve 12 months imprisonment if she failed to pay the fine.

Prosecuting Police Chief Inspector Napoleon Isaac Asherow told the court presided over by Mr Augustine Issah that, the complainant and the accused were having a land litigation case.
