Madam Juliet, mother of Vincent Bossu, the second accused acquitted in the murder case of Abuakwa North Member of Parliament, JB Danquah Adu, expressed her anguish, attributing the loss of her marriage to her accused son.
Tears streamed down her face as she shared her sentiments moments after her son was freed of conspiracy to rob charges by the High Court in Accra. She maintained her unwavering belief in her son’s innocence throughout the ordeal.
Speaking to EIB Network’s Legal Affairs Correspondent, Murtala Inusah, after the court session, Madam Juliet expressed gratitude to God for answered prayers.
On Tuesday, March 19, State Prosecutors, led by Mrs. Sefakor Batse, concluded their case after presenting eight witnesses, with ASP Augustus Nkrumah, the investigator, as the final witness.
Following the Prosecution’s closure, the High Court ruled in a submission of no case, asserting prima facie evidence against Daniel Asiedu, also known as Sexy Don Don, for the murder and robbery charges. Asiedu pleaded not guilty and remains in custody awaiting trial.
The trial judge, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, also found no prima facie case against Bossu and subsequently acquitted and discharged him.
Both Bossu and Asiedu have been in remand for the past eight years.
Reportedly, moments after Bossu’s acquittal, he broke down in tears in the courtroom.
The late JB Danquah Adu, former New Patriotic Party Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, was murdered on February 8, 2016.
Justice Marfo has instructed Sexy Don Don to submit a witness statement, along with any other persons he intends to call as witnesses, by April 15.
Earlier, ASP Augustus Nkrumah, the investigator, concluded his testimony as the 8th Prosecution Witness after cross-examination by defense lawyers led by Yaw Danquah.
