Crime Analyst and Certified Professional Investigator Ransford Nana Addo Jnr has damned Ghana's criminal justice system as a failed one that has hardly yielded desired results.

Speaking on Joy FM's SMS a day after two youngsters were convicted for murder at Kasoa in the Central Region, Ransford Nana Addo says the convicts are paying the price only because they were caught in the act.

Had they escaped from their sordid deed, society would be hailing them for whatever benefits their ritual murder would have afforded them.

Nicholas Kini, who was 18 years old at the time he and his then 15-year old friend murdered Ishmael Abdallah, then 10, for rituals to acquire wealth, has been handed a life sentence.
