Kwesi Fynn a 30-year-old mason from Amosima, near Cape Coast, was on Thursday, jailed two years by a Cape Coast district magistrates’ court for defrauding his two sisters of GH¢600.00.
He pleaded guilty and was convicted on his own and was ordered to pay the money to his sisters.
Prosecuting, Chief Inspector Francis Ockom told the court presided over by Mr Eugene Obeng Ntim that the complainants, Akua Feneba and Afua Amissah are sisters and both traders residing at Amosima.
He said Fynn, who is a step brother to the two women, live in Kumasi, and that two years ago the siblings lost their father, who was a labourer at Mfantsipim SHS and had some entitlements with the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
He said after the funeral of their father, the four siblings went to the Cape Coast branch of SSNIT to collect their father’s benefits and were given GH¢1,100 of which they shared and each received GH¢300.
Chief inspector Ockom said on their way home, Fynn told his two sisters to give him their share of their money to keep, for “security reasons”, which they obliged.
He said on reaching home the women demanded their money from Fynn but he told them to wait till evening, but when the women later went to Fynn’s house to collect the money he was nowhere to be found and was not seen again until last week when he was arrested by the police in another fraudulent case.
