Major Mahama
The jury in the Major Mahama case has returned a unanimous verdict of guilty on 12 out of the 14 persons standing trail for the death of Major Mahama.
The 12 persons have been found guilty of counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder and abetment of murder.
Life imprisonment have been served them each for the counts they were found guilty of.
The Assembly member of the area was accused of rallying people in the area to attack Major Mahama is part of the 12 persons who are awaiting sentencing by the Justice.
Two of the accused persons have been acquitted and discharged after the jury found them not guilty of the charges against them.
Meanwhile, the jury has been discharged, and the convicts are awaiting sentencing by the Justice Mariama Owusu.
The Attorney General Godfred Dame, in an interview with ‘Citi News’ Hanson Agyemang expressed hope that the verdict will act as a deterrence to people who practice mob justice.
“It’s been a long battle, started way back in December 2017. Persons accused were committed to some trial at the High Court, that was in April 2018. It’s been about 5 years or more, the whole justice we all know grinds slowly. But today we have seen justice. Two have been acquitted and 12 sentenced. I don’t think the public will contest the acquittal of those two persons. We are satisfied with the conviction. And we can only express our sympathies with the family of the late Major Mahama. They have suffered a lot, they have gone through a lot, but at least they have seen justice and I’m sure they be happy about it.”
