The family of the late Josephine Asante, a former Marketing Manager of the Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA), has voiced their displeasure over the Attorney General's recommendation to discharge the four accused persons standing trial for her murder.
During court proceedings on July 21, 2025, at the TDC District Magistrate Court, the Attorney General's Department recommended and advised that the accused persons be discharged citing insufficient evidence after five years of the trial.
The AG's office argued that the individuals had been arrested and charged solely on the basis of suspicion, which they maintained was insufficient to sustain criminal charges, particularly for a serious offense such as murder.
Speaking to graphic.com.gh after the court proceedings, Franklin Kwame Asante, husband of the deceased, strongly criticised the Attorney General's decision.
