Danquah’s murder trial"},"content":{"rendered":"
The Magistrate Court hearing the trial of the two suspected murderers of the Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu, today [Thursday] kicked out journalists covering the case from the courtroom.<\/p>\n
The Magistrate, Arit Nsemoh, after the entry of the two suspects; Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bossu, ordered the police officers stationed within the courtroom to prevent all journalists from\u00a0entering.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”W4dQGGL67UWn2Qu9Dk0UB8oSsmmbDIbh”]The police were also ordered to usher out journalists already seated in the court.<\/p>\n
No reason was given for\u00a0the Magistrate’s decision.<\/p>\n
The two suspects were arraigned a week ago after a high court discharged them due to a nolle prosequi filed by the Attorney General, and their subsequent re-arrest.<\/p>\n
