Daniel Asiedu, the main suspect on trial for the murder of the late Member of Parliament for the Abuakwa North Constituency, has denied conspiring with the second accused suspect, Vincent Booso, in carrying out the act.
According to lawyer for the suspects, Augustine Obour, Daniel Asiedu told him that he had never met the second accused anywhere until the both of them were brought to court.
[contextly_sidebar id=”XIJMijcXOnPJllVLev2QXKdAzlXYNjsZ”]The revelation contradicts the account of the police to the effect that the incident was planned by the two suspects.
Daniel Asiedu, who admitted to killing the MP albeit unintentionally, had reportedly named Vincent Bosso as his accomplice, according to the police.
There had been pressure on him to name his accomplices as he was believed to have committed the heinous act with the support of others, or on the instructions of persons who may have contracted him.
Vincent Bosso was arraigned a fortnight ago and charged with conspiracy to commit murder, just as Daniel Asiedu.
Both men have been accused of killing the NPP MP for Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu, at his Shiashie residence in Accra.
The Bureau of National Investigations (BNI), was accused of concealing vital information obtained from Daniel Asiedu, a claim it has since denied.
