The Kaneshie District Court, presided over by Mrs. Eleanor Barnes Botchway, has advised Lawyers for the two accused persons who are being held over the death of the University of Ghana Law Lecturer, Professor Emmanuel Yaw Benneh, to go to the High Court if they want bail.
The two, James Nana Womba, who was among the first four in Court previously and Opambour Agya Badu Nkansah are on provisional charges of murder and conspiracy.
The advice comes after Lawyers for the accused persons prayed the court to grant them bail.
While ruling on the bail application, the court, said its jurisdiction is limited to the committal proceedings and if they want bail, they should rather go to the High Court.
The Magistrate however adjourned the case to the 26th of this month (October), while remanding the accused persons into police custody.
At the last court sitting, prosecution led by Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo, withdrew the earlier charge and substituted it with a new one.
He told the court, that their investigations did not incriminate the three persons and prayed for them to be discharged.
He said Womba upon investigation, confessed that he together with Nkansah and two others who are on the run committed the crime.
Inspector Ebenezer Teye-Okuffo, asked the court to remand them as investigations are still ongoing.
The charges were read to them but their plea were not taken.
