Relatives of Jonathan Obeng, the third accused person in the case of the slain prospective nursing student at Mankessim, on Tuesday fled for their lives during a confusion between them and the family of the deceased.
The two families got into a violent argument outside the Cape Coast Court Complex after the court postponed the case to November 8, 2022.
The family of Obeng, the supposed mason who dug the grave to bury the deceased, became enraged when a journalist recorded them sobbing over their relative's ongoing arrest and confronted him (the journalist) as a result.
Upon hearing of the occurrence, Kate Swanzy, an aunt of the late Georgina Asor Botchwey, became agitated and an argument ensued.
This resulted in a fight, and with the help of witnesses who had come to support them, the grieving family outnumbered members of Obeng's family, who fled as soon as they sensed danger.
After the prosecution, DSP Daniel Gadzo, requested for sufficient time to finish investigations, the Cape Coast District Court Two, presided over by Mrs Bernice Mensimah Ackon, remanded the accused for the third time.
The accused's pleas were not heard, thus the case was postponed until Tuesday, November 8.
