The family of the 35-year-old businesswoman who tragically lost her life at the hands of her house help in Sokoban, located in the Ashanti region, is urgently appealing to the Attorney General for guidance and a speedy trial in the case.
Their plea comes after the prosecuting attorney, during a court session, revealed that the police have completed their investigations and are now awaiting guidance from the Attorney General before initiating the committal process.
During the previous court hearing, due to heightened tensions, there was a significant presence of security personnel at the Asokore Mampong District Court to prevent certain members of the grieving family from attempting to harm the suspects. These family members had become emotionally charged and tried to assault the accused individuals.
The prime suspect, who is already serving 20 years in a theft case, and his alleged accomplice, James Anokye, were present in court.
Following the disclosure that the police are waiting for advice from the office of the Attorney General, the court thus adjourned the case to 31st October 2023.
Speaking to journalists after the court proceedings, the family of the deceased urged the Attorney General to ensure an expedited trial, especially as the prime suspect has confessed to committing the act.
“What we the family are expecting is justice. As I always say, justice delayed is justice denied. This guy has already confirmed that he has committed the crime so we don’t need any delayance. We want them to do it fast and do it faster. We are willing to follow this case everywhere and to every extent,” the family said.
