A 29-year-old man who canned a 10-year-old boy causing him bodily harm has been fined Sh10,000 by a Thika court after pleading guilty to the office.

Augustine Kang'ethe Mburu was convicted to serve a four month jail term by Principal magistrate D.A Orimba.

He was charged that on Nov 12 at Gituamba in Murang'a, he assaulted the minor whom he found cutting napier grass at his family's farm.
