Jurors in Kasoa Ritual Murder Trial Ordered to Forfeit Allowances.
In a dramatic turn of events in the ongoing Kasoa ritual murder trial, the High Court in Accra has directed the jurors involved to forfeit their allowances. This comes after a series of delays attributed to the jurors' absenteeism, which has frustrated the court's attempts to ensure a swift trial. The case involves two teenagers accused of the gruesome murder of a 10-year-old boy, Ishmael Mensah Abdallah, in April 2021 for alleged ritual purposes.The judge’s decision to withhold allowances is seen as a stern measure to address the recurring issue of juror absenteeism, which has been delaying the court process and raising public concerns about the justice system.
