"As a result, the involvement of Mr. Lawrence Adusei in a controversial case like today was, to say the least, regrettable. In the circumstances of the aforementioned violations and the discredited autopsy, we have received instructions from our clients to tell them that they do not trust the process to obtain a credible result. Our clients therefore respectfully request that a new autopsy be performed on the body of their deceased father, in accordance with the order of the Court, to remove any doubt and put an end to the situation.
