An Accra Magistrate Court has discharged thirteen suspects allegedly involved in the lynching of the military officer, Major Maxwell Mahama.

The thirteen are part of an initial 32 charged with murder during the last hearing of the case a fortnight ago.

According to the Prosecutor, investigations into the matter informed the decision.

He also told the Court that the State intends to use some of the discharged suspects as witnesses in the case.

The remaining nineteen suspects including one woman are still facing charges of murder and conspiracy to murder.

Thirteen other suspects are currently on the run.
