The treason trial involving ten accused was on Monday halted when Warrant Officer Class Two (WOII) Esther Saan, the only female among them, started vomiting.
She was rushed to the Court’s clinic to be attended to. The cause of the throwing-up was not immediately known, but the High Court’s Warrant Officer, who escorted her to the clinic, said it was because she took her medication on an empty stomach.
This interrupted the cross-examination of the investigator by Mr Anthony Lartey, defence counsel for Johannes Zikpi, which was supposed to have closed the prosecution’s case.
