The assault case involving one Alfusainey Jallow continued recently at the Bundung Magistrates’ Court before Magistrate Isatou Janneh.

The hearing continued with the testimony of the second prosecution witness (PW2), Agie Joof, a resident of Bundung.

Joof told the court she recognised the accused and could recall 10 September 2012 while she was sitting at their compound gate and saw the accused chase and beat the complainant, Fatou Kenneh Bachelly.

The accused was slapping the complainant on her cheek, she added, saying she later gave a statement to the police in Bundung.

Under cross-examination, the witness stated that she lived in Bundung and her compound was opposite to that of the accused’s compound.

She maintained that she saw the accused chase and beat the complainant while she was sitting at their compound gate.

The case continues.
