The prosecution led by Chief Inspector Paul Osei Adjei informed the La District Court presided over by Adwoa Benaso Asumadu-Sakyi, of this development when the case was called today(Oct 7). 

With this latest development, Attorney-General is expected to write and file at the District Court an allegation of the crime, called a bill of indictment which serves as the charge sheet of the case. 

This will enable the District Court to now commence the  committal proceedings where the magistrate will determine whether there is sufficient reason for the accused person to stand trial at the High Court on the charge recommended by the Attorney-General.
