Casino row escalates

BERHANE KELATTI, 56, OF MILTON GROVE, STOKE NEWINGTON, admitted assaulting a colleague at Mint Casino in Cromwell Road, Kensington.

On July 25, he had got into an argument with Muslim Ullah, whom he had worked with for seven years, over sharing the workload.

It was a busy time at the casino, and Kelatti believed that Mr Ullah had been taking longer than usual breaks despite the workload.

The pair got into an argument, before Mr Ullah allegedly pushed Kelatti, who reacted by striking his colleague in the face.

Mr Ullah suffered a cut lip which needed five stitches at hospital.

Judge Justin Phillips adjourned the case until a date yet to be set, for pre sentence reports.
