A High Court in Accra, hearing the case of the alleged murderers of the late Major Maxwell Mahama, will show on April 12, 2021 in open court a convincing video of the prosecution.
The video, which is on a USB stick, was supposed to be shown in open court today, but the ICT manager was unable to provide a projector and other suitable equipment.
The Court, chaired by Supreme Court Justice Mariama Owusu, sitting as an additional High Court judge, therefore adjourned the trial to continue on April 12, 2021.
Chief Inspector Samuel Agyakwa, the trial investigator and the 14th prosecution witness testified before the trial was adjourned until February 27, 2020.
The COVID-19 outbreak has also slowed the process down.
Defense counsel objected to showing the video in open court as evidence, but the objection was dismissed.
According to the witness, the video contained details of how the late Major Mahama was murdered.
Fourteen people are on trial in a High Court in Accra for the murder of Major Mahama, who was an officer of the 5th Infantry Battalion, at the Burma camp.
The late major was on duty in Denkyira-Obuasi, in the central region, when on May 29, 2017, residents allegedly mistook him for an armed robber and lynched him.
The crowd had ignored his persistent plea that he was an officer in the Ghanaian armed forces.
The accused are William Baah, Assembly member Denkyira Obuasi, Bernard Asamoah alias Daddy, Kofi Nyame alias Abortion, Akwasi Boah, Kwame Tuffour, Joseph Appiah Kubi, Michael Anim and Bismarck Donkor.
The others are: John Bosie, Akwasi Baah, Charles Kwaning, Emmanuel Badu, Bismarck Abanga and Kwadwo Anima.
