Family of Lily Dzigbordi Asigbetse, the 16-year old young girl whose life was taken at her friend’s residence are seeking for the case to be heard and expedited speedily.
The family of the deceased are pleading for justice for their daughter and for the perpetrator to be duly punished for the act.
The 17-year old boy has been charged with murder but the family of Lilly say the trial is taking longer than usual.
The three-member panel that is sitting on the case sat in April to listen to the evidence of a medical officer from Port Clinic in Tema.
However, after the in camera evidence provided by the medical practitioner, the murder trial has seen a series of cross-examinations and adjournments, prolonging the case which, according to the family of late Lily Dzigbordi Asigbetse is unacceptable.
