Mankranso (Ash), July 11, GNA- The Mankranso Magistrate's court has remanded a 15-year-old boy from Biemso Number Two in the Ahafo-Ano South District of Ashanti for allegedly causing the murder of a 13-year-old JSS pupil.

He was alleged to have butchered Kwame Agyeman, the pupil, with a cutlass during a fight.
