A knife that was purportedly used by Daniel Asiedu to kill late member of parliament for Abuakwa North J. B. Danquah Adu has been presented in court. The knife was found in Daniel Asiedu’s room, one of the accused people, during a search by the investigative team, according to Detective Chief Inspector Augustus Nkrumah, the case investigator who offered it in evidence.

The girlfriend of Asiedu alias Sexy Dondon, Janet Kyera, reportedly informed the police that Asiedu gave her the blood-stained knife to wash for him when he arrived to Agbogloshie on the dawn of February 9, 2016, according to Detective Inspector Nkrumah. The investigating team reportedly searched Aseidu’s room at Agbogboloshie, where they allegedly discovered the claimed knife and had Janet identify her as the person whom Asiedu had given the weapon to clean that particular day. The investigator claimed that Asiedu also claimed ownership of the knife and that both he and Janet made statements to that effect.

The investigative team also got three mobile phones that belonged to the deceased, according to Detective Inspector Nkrumah, who was led by Mrs. Sefakor Batsa, Principal State Attorney, and the same were offered as evidence. He clarified that the trio of phones consisted of two iPhones and one Samsung.

The investigator claimed that the investigating team from the Greater Accra Region handed him the three mobile phones and that they had been presented to him by a witness named Kenneth Korankye. Korankye further stated that the three phones were a gift from Asiedu, according to Chief Inspector Nkrumah. He continued, “During investigations, the first accused (Asiedu) stated that he took them from the late MP’s room. The Investigator also informed the Court that pictures were obtained of the deceased during a postmortem at the Police Hospital in Accra. He consequently offered the photos as proof. A catapult and a cutter that were reportedly taken from the deceased room were also recognized and presented as evidence by Chief Inspector Nkrumah. He said Aseidu later identified the catapult as his.

The Investigator told the High Court that a pair of black slippers allegedly wrapped in a duster was also found and retrieved behind a flowerpot at the house of the deceased. He said during investigations Asiedu identified the slippers as his.

Asiedu is standing trial with Vincent Bossu aka Junior Agogo, for their various roles in the murder of the former MP. Asiedu is being held on charges of Murder and robbery. Asiedu and Bossu have been jointly charged with conspiracy to rob. They have denied the charges before a seven-member jury. The Court presided over by Mrs Justice Lydia Osei Marfo has remanded them into lawful custody to reappear on July 18.
