Major Mahama video to be played in court March 17

A video recording which allegedly showed how Major Maxwell Adam Mahama was killed will be played at the Accra High Court on March 17, 2020 as evidence in the trial of the 14 people alleged to have killed the military officer.

The video was expected to be played yesterday but it was adjourned due to the unavailability of a projector in the Criminal Division (Court 3) of the Accra High Court.

The presiding judge, Justice Mariama Owusu, a Justice of the Supreme Court, sitting as a High Court judge, therefore adjourned the trial to March 17, 2020 for continuation.

On the said day, the prosecution is also expected to bring its case to a close. The prosecution, led by Mrs Evelyn Keelson , a Chief State Attorney, has called 14 witnesses to testify at the trial.
