An Accra High Court will issue its verdict on December 4 regarding Daniel Asiedu, known as Sexy Don Don, who is charged with the murder of J.B. Danquah Adu.
The court plans to hear final statements from both the defense and prosecution before summarizing the case and delivering its ruling.
Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, who serves both as a Court of Appeal judge and in additional High Court duties, will preside over the proceedings.
The prosecution, led by Principal State Attorney Sefakor Batsa, completed cross-examination of Asiedu on Thursday
During questioning, Asiedu denied claims that his DNA was found at the late MP’s home or on the property of Abigail Marfo, a witness who allegedly provided him a place to clean up after the crime. He also disputed the assertion that a red hat found on Marfo’s property contained his DNA.
Asiedu maintained that he provided only one statement to the police after his arrest, claiming that additional statements were coerced and written by the officers, which he had to thumbprint.
He rejected the allegation that he stabbed Danquah Adu and stole mobile phones, insisting that the police never recovered any phones from him. “The police took the phone from another person I do not know,” he stated, mentioning that this individual later attended a meeting with prominent figures, yet the police did not call them to testify.
Asiedu acknowledged that his name and alias were tattooed on his body and expressed a willingness to show this to the jury if allowed.
He maintained his innocence regarding the stabbing incident on February 8, 2016, insisting he had no personal conflicts with anyone.
When asked by the jury president about his visit to the police, Asiedu explained he was there to report a matter involving a prostitute. He confirmed that he had blood on his hands from a head injury but could not determine if a cup used during the scene reconstruction was stained with blood. Due to his stress at the time, he also noted uncertainty about whether there were security cameras at the deceased’s residence.
Asiedu, who pleaded not guilty to the murder charges, is facing significant scrutiny.
His alleged accomplice, Vincent Bossu, was acquitted of conspiracy charges after the court found insufficient evidence for a case against him.
