A slap that left a teacher with a damaged eardrum has earned a teacher three years in prison.

Chief Magistrate Lucy Ambasi found Wycliffe Kingori Mwangi guilty of assaulting the Form Two student at Kaaga Girls High School on March 24, 2014.

“I find the accused was the culprit that slapped the complainant thrice leading to secondary ear infection and subsequent partial hearing loss,” Ms Ambasi said.

Ms Ambasi however spared the teacher from more serious charges of assault causing grievous harm and instead convicted him on simple assault.
