19 to face trial for murder of Major 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.

At a hearing Thursday, lawyer for five of the accused persons, Mr George Bernard Shaw, prayed the court to impress on the prosecution to give a timetable on how it intends to proceed with the case.
