Prosecution on Tuesday said the Bill of Indictment of Eric Kojo Duah, the man
who allegedly shot and killed two Police officers on the Kasoa-Budumburam-Aprah
road is not ready.
Assistant
Superintendent of Police, Sylvester Asare told a Kaneshie District Court that
the Police are still waiting for the Bill of Indictment from the Attorney
General’s Office (AG).

February 17.
The Accused who is
now solely being held for the murder have had his plea reserved.
The initial
accomplice who was also standing trial with Duah have been discharged following
in depth investigations into the matter.
Duah is now being
held for the murder of General Lance Corporal Mohammed Awal and Lance Corporal
Michael Dzamesi.
The two policemen
were part of a Task Force which was on duty when Duah allegedly took turns to
kill them with a pistol after the officers had stopped his vehicle.

Asare had earlier said the police have forwarded the case docket to the
Attorney General’s office for advice and for the preparation of a Bill of

policemen but he failed to stop.

Ghana Police Service vehicle chased Duah who allegedly pulled a pistol from his
vehicle and took turns to kill the two.
