A medical examination conducted on the self-confessed killer of the late Member of Parliament for Abuakwa South Joseph Boakye Danquah-Adu Daniel Asiedu has indicated that he is fit and sound to stand trial.
Daniel Asiedu’s incoherent utterances made his lawyer Augustine’s Obuor made a request to the court for him to be medically examined.
The report from the Accra Psychiatric Hospital to the court by Medical Consultant Samuel Ohene said the accused person is mentally sound to stand trial after four tests were conducted on him.
It was the case of his lawyers that, his attitude and behavior ever since his arrest means that he is not mentally fit to stand trial.
But after the court had ordered for his examination, a consultant at the Accra Psychiatric Hospital revealed that all the four psychiatric examinations did not show any sign of mental disorder.
PLEADED NOT GUILTY
Following the report, their pleas were taken after the charges of conspiracy, robbery and murder were read to them.
Both Asiedu and Vincent Bosso pleaded not guilty.
The case has been adjourned to July 11, for the jury to be empaneled for the full trial to commence.
