deceased. He never mentioned the 2 nd Accused. In the second part<br />
of Exhibit ‘Q’ titled ADDITIONAL ST<strong>AT</strong>EMENT, the 1 st accused went<br />
haywire and systematically implicated the 2 nd Accused person. I have<br />
read Exhibit ‘Q’ over and over and found that part 2 of it did not flow<br />
consequentially from the first part. It is mendacious. It is a<br />
concoction. This is because, in the first part of Exhibit ‘Q’, the 1 st<br />
Accused gave account of how the body of the deceased was disposed<br />
thus:<br />
“At about 2100hrs, I placed her body (Amie) on my<br />
back catching both legs and went up to the corner<br />
before my junction and dropped the body there<br />
(Latrikunda German). The body was placed facing<br />
downwards. I placed the plastic bag besides her<br />
containing her shoe, purse and head tie. I then<br />
walked to my room”.<br />
The first part of Exhibit ‘Q’ cover three pages of a chronological<br />
account which is conclusive as it were.<br />
The second part of Exhibit ‘Q’ cover 1¼ pages is without preamble<br />
and appeared to be designed for a specific purpose i.e implicate the<br />
2 nd Accused person only. I reject it.
