A District Court at Kotobabi in Accra has discharged Frederick Owusu, herbalist, who was held over his wife's death.

The court discharged Owusu, 54, after the Attorney General's Office advised the police to withdraw the charge of murder preferred against him.

The Attorney General's Office had recommended that there was "no sufficient evidence to support the charge of murder," hence the police withdrew the charge.

The accused was held for intentionally causing the death of his wife on September 22, 2023, at about 15 hours at Hobor, near Ashalaja in the Greater Accra Region.
