An Accra High Court will deliver its ruling on December 4 in the case of Daniel Asiedu, also known as Sexy Don Don, who is accused of murdering former Member of Parliament J.B. Danquah Adu.
The court has set the date to hear final statements from both the defense and prosecution before summarizing the case for judgment.
Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, who is also serving as a Court of Appeal judge, will preside over the case.
The prosecution, led by Principal State Attorney Sefakor Batsa, concluded its cross-examination of Asiedu, who also goes by the alias Gucci Young Star, on Thursday.
During the cross-examination, Asiedu denied allegations that his DNA was found not only at the late MP’s residence but also on the property of witness Abigail Marfo, where he allegedly washed up after the crime.
He also denied claims that a red hat discovered on Marfo’s property contained 100% of his DNA.
Asiedu further argued that he had only made one statement to the police, contrary to claims that he had provided over ten statements. He asserted that the others were coerced and had been written by the police, with him only forced to thumbprint them.
The accused denied stealing the deceased’s mobile phones, which were later found in his possession.
Asiedu argued that the police had taken the phone from another individual, whose identity he did not know, and refused to call this individual or others involved to testify in court.
Asiedu also confirmed that he had tattoos with his name and alias on his body, offering to show them to the jury if permitted by the court.
Despite the allegations, Asiedu maintained his innocence, asserting that he had no personal issues with anyone and had done nothing wrong.
He also admitted to reporting an issue involving a prostitute to the police but denied any connection to the death of J.B. Danquah Adu, who was fatally stabbed on February 8, 2016.
Asiedu, who faces murder charges, pleaded not guilty before the jury. His alleged accomplice, Vincent Bossu, was acquitted of conspiracy after the court ruled on a no-case submission.
