Abesim murder case adjourned to April 28

The  Kaneshie District court on Tuesday adjourned to April 28, the case of Richard Appiah, a footballer, accused of killing two boys and storing their body parts in a refrigerator.

The court presided over by Justice Ama Adomako Kwakye made the determination for lack of time and because the prosecution missed hearing on the last adjourned date, February 23, 2022.

However, a report delivered to the court by Police Chief Inspector Anane, to Justice Kwakye, suggested that the second accused, whose name had been withheld for security reasons, be released by the court.

The report also suggested to the court that the prime suspect, Richard Appiah, be charged with manslaughter, following the progress of investigations.

Justice Ama Adomako Kwakye asked the Attorney in charge of the case to appear in court the next adjourned date, to present an update on investigations for the case to continue.

Appiah pleaded with the court to grant him the opportunity to train as a footballer.

Justice Kwakye asked the suspect to engage the services of a lawyer to file an appeal at the Appeals Court for his plea to be given hearing.

The court has released the second accused as suggested in the report. – GNA
