The High Court in Accra has ordered Daniel Asiedu alias Sexy Don Don to open his defense to the charge of murder of Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu and robbery.
This was after the Court held that State Prosecutors led by Mrs. Sefakor Batse had been able to prove prima facie evidence against him.
Asiedu has pleaded not guilty to murder and robbery and is standing trial while being held in lawful custody.
Meanwhile, Vincent Bossu, who is standing trial with Asiedu for Conspiracy to rob has been acquitted and discharged.
In Court on Tuesday, March 19, 2014, following the closure of the Prosecution’s case, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, the trial judge held that the prosecution failed to establish a prima facie case against Agongo.
Agoogo and Asiedu have been on remand for the past eight years.
