The Head of Pathology Department at 37 Military Hospital, Dr Lawrence Adusei has told the Accra Central District Court that the full autopsy report of the late Major Maxwell Mahama will be ready by November, 23.
Dr Adusei told the court that he needed some crime scene experts, pictures and ballistic experts to conclude his report.
Kasapa FM’s Court correspondent, Daakyehene Ofosu Agyemang reported that the presiding judge, Ebenezer Kwaku Ansah made ordered the Criminal Investigative Department (CID) of the Police Service to provide all the needed assistance to the pathologist to finish his job.
The court barely a fortnight ago ordered the Pathologist Department at 37 Military Hospital to furnish the Director General of CID with the autopsy report of Major Maxwell Mahama.
The decision followed a request by the prosecutor DSP George Amega asking the court to order for the release of the post-mortem report on the late soldier, claiming it is an important information that will facilitate the investigative work by Police.
The deceased, Major Mahama, an officer of the 5th Infantry Battalion, at Burma Camp in Accra but on a national assignment at Denkyira Obuasi in the Central Region, was said to have been on his daily jogging session on Monday [May 29, 2017], when some angry youth of the town attacked him, allegedly on suspicion that he was an armed robber.
The Police subsequently arrested over fifty suspects who had fled the town to other regions in the country.
Further investigations reduced the number of suspects to 19.
