Strange things happen. Alcohol no good.
My thoughts exactly. He was so drunk that fell asleep in the bush.
Sorry but the bush pig story should be considered by the jury. Effah made grave mistake not raising alarm for help or reporting to the police.
Yes, indeed this was his mistake. He could have run to the chief palace or police instead such a pity.
How can a well-trained pilot drink his brain and go ahead to sleep in a Bush.
He was not a pilot. Deceptive Headline
Very funny. You have no clue how many times a year pilots are arrested at airports and in cockpits because they are drunk! Many more do it but they are not caught. You should see Denzel Washington's movie "Flight".
The Story is not complete. Was an Ambush. They planned and killed him. Why they refused to alarm the neighborhood upon realizing that they have shot a human. Bias court proceedings.
The Akroso police should also be blamed and held responsible for the young man’s unfortunate death. They should not have put him in a passenger car by himself to be met by a so called woman(it’s a cat and bull story) but ...

The police made a mistake by putting him on a commercial vehicle to be meet on arrival by someone. In the UK , and to be precise Manchester UK he will have been kept in police custody overnight. You took his vehicle from hi ...

Exactly my thoughts. That's where the death came from. They should have detained him along with the car till the following day. The did a very poor job. I have been following this case from the onset, l just don't understand ...

Was his neighborhood watch colleague charged at all? It would have helped if he they helped the victim get to a hospital or even called the police. To shoot a human being (unintentionally), realize it is a human being and the ...

In my view, the sentence pronounced, WAS NOT FAIR. The fact that , the shooter did not make any attempt to save the victim and to report to the police, immediately, makes the case suspecious and a serious crime. It took the ...

The judge gave him only 5yrs?
A man hears someone snoring, does not offer to help, shoots and kills this person, does not inform the police, goes into hiding for three years until detectives locate him and his sentence: 5 Years?
Meanwhile common planta ...

I remember this story paa, we all accused the Gh police of extra judicial execution but we were all wrong!Apologies to GH police, RIP young man, alcohol is no good.
Very sad. This wasn't intentional and this old man shouldn't have been sentenced into prison
Are you CORRECT in your head??
After killing the man, did he even tell the police what has happened?
No. He kept quiet and after 3 years he was apprehended, right?
If he had reported to the police, I would agree with ...

The police is as guilty as the convict. What a shame on their part. They re only interested in taking bribes and salaries. Protecting the citizenry isn't a priority. Shame on those police officers who pushed him to his death. ...

The judge should be fired. The accused saw the victim after shooting him, offered no assistance nor reported the incidents. 5 years? A goat thief get more than that.
Alcohol drinking is not compatible with godly thinking. Let's learn a lesson from this.
Let’s learn to report accurately. Is the victim a pilot or an aeronautical engineer.
Wow
If the police have not stopped him he would have ended up driving his car on the road and who would he have killed in that state.
How many young people driving on highways would be so drunk that they end up sleeping in a b ...

Shot him too period.
The policemen on duty that day should be severely reprimanded for not following their SOPs.
The headline is misleading. He was not a pilot. He was an aircraft engineer. The difference is so clear. Ghana’s JSS journalists!
Akyemfuo ne awudie, sad indeed how do one presume snoring was a pig?
Lazy approach to journalist. Just cut and paste. Mixing old stuff with the new one. And mixing it will old stuff which now ended with adjournment to November. What kind of lazy journalism is this?
cant hold back my tears.... sad... sad... this boozing... enjoyment overmuch. Difficult to understand why he would shoot an animal that is not moving... not posing any threat...eiii... wofie ny3 a... hmmm
These incidence happens.US for vice president Dick Chiney shot someone while on hunting trips.Manslaughter and it depends the judge discretion.I think such cases the sentences must be minimal .unintended consequences!!
