Suspect smears himself with faeces to avoid trial

The prosecutor, ASP D. Otchere, said the suspect
and his accomplice, Micheal Agbavi who is at
large, on 17th April 2017, at about 8:00pm,
allegedly attacked the complainant on his way home
with his girlfriend.

He said the complainant spotted the accused person
a day after the incident and with the help of his
brothers arrested and handed him over to the
police.

The court remanded Agbo into police custody and
adjourned the case to the 4th of May 2017 to allow
the police intensify its investigation to arrest
other alleged accomplice.
