He said the nature of the case was delicate, urging that justice should be served for the two 12-year-olds who lost their lives.

"Justice for Justine and Maame Dwomoh. The law is no respecter of persons, and we must seek justice for them. If it were to be abroad, the suspect would be in handcuffs at the hospital with police officers closely monitoring him. If he is imprisoned, the proper training he did not get at home would be given to him in the juvenile centre. We are monitoring this case. Dr Dampare, our eyes dey follow."
We will follow this matter to see what comes out of it so it does not come forth as though if you are rich and popular, you are treated with kid's gloves, and if you are poor, then you are jailed," he said.
