A Princess Marina Hospital medical doctor has told the Broadhurst magistrate court that a boy who was assaulted by a Bangladeshi national is suffering from a depressed level of consciousness.

Doctor Chise was this week summoned before the court by magistrate Faith Ngandu to give a detailed report on the condition of Ditiro Jerry, who has been in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for the past three weeks.

Mahommed Hussein Molla is accused of assaulting the 12-year-old Jerry on June 13, 2016 by hitting his forehead against the wall leaving him critically injured.
