Under cross-examination from George Bernard Shaw, counsel for six of the 14 accused persons told the court that, even though the crime scene was not cordoned off there were Police and Military personnel at the premises of the crime.

Chief Inspector Agyakwa, the 14th Prosecution Witness said, “the crime scene was not cordoned but the place was safe because the military and police were there.”

Asked to explain what he meant by the place was safe, the investigator said, “I mentioned the place was safe because the following day being May 30, the police and military visited the scene and arrested some people so the place was safe.”

He explained that the town was completely empty because of the presence of police and military so no one was seen there.
