Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso, the two men who were standing trial in connection to the murder were to be subsequently set free by the court.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
However according to our reporter, there were policemen stationed all over the court premises giving an indication that\u00a0the two men will be re-arrested the moment they stepped out of the court room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso were still in the courtroom as of midday, although they erre now in reality free men<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The filing of nolle prosequi meant the Attorney General wanted to discontinue with the prosecution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ebo Hawkson reported from the court that a Senior State Attorney, Ms Sefakor Batsa, told the court that based on section 54 of the criminal and other offences Act , 1960 (Act 30) the AG had filed a nolle prosequi not to continue with the prosecution.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
When the two men last appeared at the Criminal Division of the Accra High Court two weeks ago, the case was adjourned for the\u00a0empaneling of a jury for the trial.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A jury was expected to be constituted a week earlier, but the prosecution pleaded with the court for an adjournment to enable it to deal with certain issues.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The prosecutor told the court at its last sitting that there was a new development in the prosecution\u2019s case which needed to be addressed.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
She, however, did not inform the court about the new development then.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
“Under the circumstances, we pray the court to grant an adjournment to enable us to deal with the new issues,” she said.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Counsel for the two accused persons (Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso), Mr Muniru Kassim, did not object to the prosecution’s request last week.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Charges<\/strong><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asiedu was facing three counts of murder, conspiracy to commit robbery and robbery, while Bosso had been charged with conspiracy to commit robbery.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The facts, as presented by the prosecution, are that on February 8, 2016, Asiedu and Bosso decided to embark on a robbery operation at Shiashie, a suburb of East Legon, where the MP resided.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asiedu selected the MP\u2019s house, but Bosso disagreed and decided to abandon the robbery operation.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About 11:40 p.m., the MP arrived home and went to bed in a room located on the first floor of his house.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
About 1 a.m. that same night, Asiedu, armed with a catapult, a cutter and a sharp knife, went to the legislator\u2019s house. He entered the house by scaling the wall on the blind side of a security man who was fast asleep.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On entering the house, Asiedu climbed onto a porch on the top floor with a ladder and entered the MP\u2019s bedroom through a window.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
While Asiedu was searching the room, the MP woke up and held him. There ensued a struggle, during which Asiedu stabbed the MP in the right chest above the breast. Asiedu also sustained various injuries in his palm and chest.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The legislator fell by his bed, bleeding profusely, after which Asiedu stabbed him several times on the right chest and neck.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
On realising that the MP was dying, Asiedu left the room and took with him three iPhones.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the struggle between the MP and Asiedu drew the attention of the security man in the house who alerted others in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asiedu, however, managed to descend; he jumped over the electric fencing on the walls of the house into an adjoining house and escaped.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Asiedu then took the phones to a phone repairer to decode them, but the repairer saw bloodstains and the pictures of the MP on the phones and alerted the police.<\/p>\n
