A 15-year-old juvenile, on trial alongside an 18-year-old offender, confessed to the High Court in Accra that they both committed the crime. He stated, “Whatever happened in the case, myself and the 2nd Accused (18-year-old) did it.” Despite the 2nd accused’s continuous denial, the juvenile insists they were both involved.
The juvenile further elaborated on their arrest and how he pointed out the 2nd accused to the police. He said, “The boy who was released, the Police asked me if the other boy was part of us. I was the one who informed the Police that he was not part of us. They asked whether 2nd accused was part and I said yes.”

The 15-year-old admitted to the crime, but the court entered a not guilty plea on his behalf as the law requires a full trial for the jury to determine the matter. The 18-year-old, however, has consistently denied the charges.
