An Accra District Court has summoned the pathologist conducting an autopsy on\u00a0Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, J.B Danquah-Adu, over delays in submitting his report.<\/p>\n
The court issued the order after it was forced to adjourn the case involving two persons suspected to have murdered the late MP.<\/p>\n
[contextly_sidebar id=”2jXYvulUYNebqFn4Tns9OCTLY7N40UPG”]The prosecution during the hearing of case today [Friday], told the court it was facing difficulties accessing the pathology report of the victim, hence the delay in prosecuting the matter.<\/p>\n
The pathologist, Dr. Adusei, faced a similar fate a couple of weeks ago in the suit having to do with the murder of Major Maxwell Mahama, due to the delay of a pathology report.<\/p>\n
J.B Danquah Adu was murdered in his apartment in 2016 at Shiashie.<\/p>\n
Two suspects, Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Bosso, were subsequently arrested and charged with murder following the incident.<\/p>\n
Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n The facts of the case, as presented by DSP Amegah, were that the deceased MP lived with his family in a one-storey house at Shiashie, near East Legon, a suburb of Accra, whilst Asiedu and Bosso lived at Agbogbloshie, also in Accra.<\/p>\n About 11:40 p.m. on February 8, 2016, the MP arrived home in his private car driven by his driver.<\/p>\n The driver had handed over the ignition keys of the car to Danquah-Adu and left for home, after which the MP retired to bed in a room located on the first floor of his house.<\/p>\n At about 1 a.m. on the same night, Asiedu and Bosso, armed with a catapult, a cutter and a sharp knife, went to the legislator\u2019s house.<\/p>\n Bosso is said to have assisted Asiedu to enter the house by scaling the fence wall on the blind side of a security man who was fast asleep.<\/p>\n On entering the house, Asiedu picked a ladder and climbed onto a porch on the top floor and entered the MP\u2019s bedroom through a window, whilst Mr. Danquah-Adu was sleeping.<\/p>\n Whilst 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.<\/p>\n The MP consequently held the knife, and Asiedu pulled it through the MP\u2019s hand, making a deep cut in his palm.<\/p>\n The legislator, who bled profusely, fell by his bed, after which Asiedu stabbed him several times on his right chest and neck.<\/p>\n On realizing that the MP was dying, Asiedu left the room and took with him three iPhone smart phones.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, the struggle between the MP and Asiedu had drawn the attention of the security man in the house, who alerted other security men in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n Having been alerted to the impending danger, Bosso took to his heels, leaving Asiedu behind.<\/p>\n However, Asiedu managed to descend from the top of the house and jumped over the electric fencing on the walls of the house into an adjoining house and escaped.<\/p>\n –<\/p>\n By: Fred Djabanor\/citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An Accra District Court has summoned the pathologist conducting an autopsy on\u00a0Member of Parliament for Abuakwa North, J.B Danquah-Adu, over delays in submitting his report.
