The Prosecution, led by Mrs Evelyn Keelson, a Senior State Attorney, has so far presented the fourth prosecution witness, who had finished his evidence-in-chief and a cross-examination of him by some defence lawyers in the case.

Major Mahama, who was an officer of the 5th Infantry Battalion, was said to have been on his daily jogging routine on Monday, May 29, 2017, when some angry youth of the town attacked him, allegedly on suspicion of being an armed robber.

The Police subsequently arrested over 50 suspects who had fled the town to other regions of the country and discharged 36 people, leaving 14 accused.

The selection of a seven-member jury panel to hear the case was only completed on April 25.

The setting up of the jury had suffered a number of setbacks, which included some selected jurors recusing themselves, as well as opposition to a number of the potential jurors by the accused persons.
