Alleged murderers of Mobilla seek redress at the Supreme Court over jurors

Accra, March 3, GNA - Two soldiers who are being held for the allege= d murder of Alhaji Issah Mobilla, ex-Northern Regional Chairman of Conventi= on People's Party (CPP), have gone to the Supreme Court (SC) to seek redress over the list of jurors.

Stating the grounds of appeal before the SC, the soldiers contended that the Court of Appeal (CA) erred when it held that the appellants (Soldiers) failed to demonstrate any exceptional circumstance to justify the grant of application.

The CA also erred when it held that they failed to prove that the application was neither sanction by law or practice. This came to light when Private Eric Modzaka and Corporal Yaw Appiah=

appeared before an Accra Fast Track High Court for the commencement of the trial.

Mr. Thaddeus Sory, defence counsel mentioned to the Fast Track High Court that they had filed a notice of appeal before the Supreme Court and was therefore praying the FTHC to stay proceedings pending the hearing of the appeal.
