KKD To Visit Clinical Psychologist

The Kaneshie District Court presided over by Mrs Adwoa Akyaamaa Ofosu, hearing the case involving Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, a.k.a KKD, has received a medical report recommending that the accused person visit a clinical psychologist.

Ms Suzana Nyarko, who held the brief for Tony Forson, the counsel for the accused person explained to the court that KKD visited the hospital for his review session Wednesday and it was recommended he sees a psychologist as such his absence.

She said there recommendation that the accused person be given a week bed rest.

All these, of course, were contained in the medical report and a letter addressed to the court to explain the condition of the accused person.

The Acting Director of Public Prosecutions, Mrs Cynthia Lamptey confirmed receiving the medical report but said the state was not aware of the further explanation concerning the health of the accused person.

This will be the second time the accused has been absent in court, which has forced the court to adjourn the matter at the instance of the defense counsel on excuse of ill health.

The court was to end the committal process at the District Court to enable trial to begin at the High Court.  However, the accused was absent at Thursday’s sitting.

A human rights court in Accra has granted him bail on humanitarian grounds to the sum of GH₵ 20, 000.00 with two sureties after he was arrested by the Airport Police on 27 of December 2014 for allegedly raping a 19 year old girl in a hotel’s bathroom.

The case has been adjourned to February 18.

This case is becoming a drag isn't it?

what are your thoughts on it though?
