The 18-year-old implicated in the alleged Kasoa ritual murder case has contradicted the assertions made by State Prosecutors, denying that he and the 15-year-old juvenile planned to seek spiritual powers for wealth.
The second accused has also contested allegations suggesting that he had discussions with the first accused about a potential trip to the Volta Region for spiritual assistance if the priest in Amasaman did not meet their expectations.
Both teenagers face charges of conspiracy and the murder of 10-year-old Ishmael Mensah Abdallah before the High Court in Accra, under the jurisdiction of Justice Lydia Osei Marfo.
While the 15-year-old juvenile (1st Accused) has admitted to the offense, stating that they “committed the crime together,” the 18-year-old (2nd Accused) has denied the charges.
Currently, State Prosecutors, led by Nana Adoma Osei, are subjecting the 18-year-old to cross-examination to scrutinize the credibility of his testimony before the High Court, presided over by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo.
