"I plead with the court to forgive me.
It was not my intention to kill my dear friend and to also end my life this way.
I pray the court forgives all my sins and gives me a second chance," words of the convicted minor in the Kasoa ritual murder. 15 years old at the time of the offence, the minor and his friend, 18-year-old Nicholas Kini were involved in the killing of 10-year-old Ishmael Mensah Abdullah for ritual money in 2021 at Kasoa.
The duo was convicted of murder, following a unanimous guilty verdict by a seven-member jury in October last year.
