A DNA Analyst,Dr. Kenneth Frimpong, has testified in the case in which two persons are standing trial for the alleged murder of J B. Danquah-Adu, Abuakwa North former Member of Parliament (MP), at the High Court.
The DNA Consultant, tendered in a DNA Forensic Report as evidence. So far, the state has tendered into evidence two reports – the Postmortem report and DNA forensic report.
According DrFrimpong, he came across the name of Daniel Asiedu in respect of the analysis he conducted for the Ghana Police Service (GPS).
“I have come across the name in relation to the analysis I conducted for Ghana Police Service, but I have never met him in person. I have come across Vincent Bossu (second accused person’s) name, but I have never met him,” he added.
Dr Frimpong, the seventh prosecution witness, said he had also come across the name of former J.B.Danquah-Adu in respect of analysis of the Ghana Police Service, adding “I have never met him. I heard he was an MP, but he is now deceased”.
The prosecution witness said in February 2016, the Ghana Police Service brought him several exhibits for analysis, including a T-Shirt, bed sheet, a plastic cup, boxer shorts and swaps of blood.
DrFrimpongsaid “on receipt of the exhibits, I made sure I cross-checked the contents of every exhibit brought to me. I anonymised the samples and placed them under lock and key,” the witness said.
He said a third party was also asked to conduct analysis and that he had written and signed the final report for the Ghana Police Service and tendered the same in evidence.
Mr Yaw Dankwah, counsel for accused, did not object to the tendering of the forensic report. The case has been adjourned to March 23.-GNA
