The Criminal Division of the Accra High Court has ordered the Ghana Prisons Service to produce a 22-year-old man who has been accused of killing a seven-year-old girl and sleeping with the corpse.
The trial of the suspect, Lucas Agboyie was supposed to begin on Friday.
However, when the case was called, both Agboyie and a representative from the Attorney-General’s Department (A-G) were absent.
The Presiding Judge, Mr Justice Lawrence L Mensah was, therefore, compelled to issue the order.
She also directed the court registry to serve hearing notice on both the Ghana Prisons Service and the A-G.
The trial has been adjourned to June 13, 2017.
Agboyie has been charged with murder and defilement over the incident which occurred on April 19, 2015 at Ashaiman, near Tema.
He was committed to stand trial by the Accra Central District Court last April.
During the committal proceedings, Agboyie confessed that he took GH¢20 from the seven-year-old, killed her and slept with the corpse before using the money to buy marijuana.
