The murder trial of Safina Adizatu Mohammed, the lady accused of killing Canadian-based Ghanaian, Frank Kofi Osei has been scheduled to begin in the next legal year which starts from October.

The decision according to the presiding judge, Justice Lydia Osei Marfo, is due to circumstances beyond the court's control.

Despite the court's earlier arrangement to call the first Prosecution witness, that did not happen following the new development.

Safina, a 23-year-old university student is alleged to have killed Frank Kofi Osei, a Ghanaian resident in Canada with other accomplices when he visited her at Ashaley Botwe a suburb of Accra while he was on vacation in Ghana.

Justice Lydia Osei Marfo while adjourning the case indicated that, the court will will have a pre trial on May 22.

"Due to circumstances beyond the court’s control and though we have completed the pre trial with all the parties taking date and time for trial within this month and next month, we have been unable to use any of those dates. That means before the end of the this legal year we cannot start.

"However, we can come on the next legal year. Therefore, the case will be adjourned to May 22 for another pre trial," she noted.

Meanwhile, an uncle of the deceased, Bismark Sakyi said, they are satisfied with the decision of the court.
