Narh pleaded not guilty to murder but the seven-member, jury of  the Koforidua High Court returned a verdict of guilty. In pronouncing  judgement, Justice T.S. Suurbared said \u201cYou will be taken to the prisons  and hanged until you die and your body buried. May the good Lord have  mercy on your soul\u201d.<br \/>\nProsecuting, the Principal State Attorney,  Mrs. Emily Addo-Okyireh, had told the court that Tettey and Narh were  good friends and lived together at Huhunya. She said that on September  24, 2008, Tettey reported to the chief of Huhunya, Nene Kwaku Wayo, that  Narh had collected his garden-gun and refused to return it to him  because he had refused his request to be drafted into an armed robbery  gang, adding that Narh also threatened him with death.<br \/>\nThe  prosecutor said Nene Wayo advised Tettey to report the matter to the  police but he did not do so. According to the prosecution, Tettey was  found dead the following day in his compound with gun-shot wounds in the  chest and police investigations showed that he was shot through the  window of his room at night, while he was asleep.<br \/>\nNarh went into  hiding but was arrested by some of the towns-folk and handed over to the  police. Mrs. Addo-Okyireh said when he was arrested, he had in his  possession the garden-gun he took from Tettey together with live  cartridges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An armed robber in his mind-twenties was yesterday sentenced to death by hanging, for killing his friend who refused to be conscripted into his gang of thieves at Huhunya in the Yilo Krobo District of the Eastern Region.
