The trial of Mark Forson, accused of the murder of Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen, son of the late Professor Albert Adu Boahen, has been postponed to May 9, 2024.
The Kaneshie District Court, scheduled to hear the case, did not convene, leading to the adjournment.
Forson, who was facing a provisional charge of murder, maintained his plea in court.
The prosecution asserts that the complainant, a surgeon at Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and a friend of the deceased, found Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen dead in his home on February 11, 2024.
Upon noticing an unusual smell at the door, the complainant discovered the deceased in his room.
The prosecution alleges that the accused, Mark Forson, was the deceased’s houseboy.
Upon discovery of the deceased’s body, the complainant promptly reported the incident to the East Legon Police Station.
Police investigations revealed signs of foul play, with the deceased found with a rope around his neck.
The body was then taken to the Police Hospital Morgue for further examination.
Subsequently, on March 14, 2024, Mark Forson was apprehended in connection with Dr. Christopher Adu Boahen’s murder. The prosecution indicates that investigations are ongoing.
