The victim said they were on the farm when Ibrahim used a cable wire to strangulate him before removing his two eyes.
Mr Wakil stressed the need for parents and guardians to maintain strict vigilance on their wards.
“It is pertinent now more than ever that the whereabouts of wards and the company they keep are constantly kept in check by all those responsible,’’ he stated.
