Prime suspect of the murder of former Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa North, J.B Danquah Adu says the ghost of the late MP keeps tormenting him in prison.

The alleged killer, Daniel Asiedu, broke down in tears at the Accra High court today, saying he has not been able to sleep for some time now as former MPs ghost continually terrorizes him.

He confessed that some people contracted him to kill the MP and paid him Ghc20,000 and promised to get him out of prison after one year.

He said the people failed to go by the agreement and that they had decided to let him down.

Daniel Asiedu also begged the court presided over by Justice Lydia Osei Marfo to discharge the other accused person Vincent Bosso.

The deceased, J.B Danquah Adu was stabbed to death on the night of Tuesday, February 9, 2016, at his Shiashie residence in Accra.

The case at the High Court had commenced late last year but is set to commence again after the judge hearing the case, George Buadi was transferred.

 The court was supposed to empanel a jury but the accused did not have legal representation causing the courts to abandon the process.

Even before the case could be adjourned, Daniel Asiedu lifted his hands asking to speak. He said the case had dragged for years and he wanted to confess to the crime.

He said, "I have now given my life to God; I want to tell the truth so that the MP’s family will forgive me".

This is not the first time the accused person is confessing to the crime and asking for forgiveness from the family of the deceased.

Justice Osei Marfo asked the accused person whether he gave a statement to the police.

 He responded “yes” with the judge urging him to discuss these matters with his lawyers once they have a conference.

The accused person, however, noted that, in contrast to widely speculated information on the matter, he didn’t jump the wall into the house to kill the MP. Rather, he revealed that persons within the house opened the gate and allowed him into the house to carry out the act.
