Court sets March 5 for verdict on murdered Takoradi girls’ case

The verdict in the murder trial of the two suspects in the killing of the four kidnapped Takoradi girls has been set for Friday, March 5, 2021, by a Sekondi High Court.

The two accused Nigerian nationals, Sam Udeotuk Wills and John Orji, were initially charged with kidnapping conspiracy, but the charge was later changed to murder conspiracy in 2020.

This came after a police forensic examination of discovered human remains confirmed the girls’ deaths.

The date was set today, February 3, 2021, by the presiding judge, Justice Richard Adjei-Frimpong, after the lawyers for Sam Udeotuk Wills and John Orji concluded their defence and subsequent cross-examination.
