The Accra Central District Court has discharged 13 persons alleged to have been involved in the lynching of Major Maxwell Mahama.
The 13 are part of the initial 32 suspects who have been charged with the murder of the Major.
The remaining 19 however, are still facing trial on charges of murder and conspiracy to murder.
According to him, the prosecution intends to use those discharged as witnesses in the case.
