The trial of Johnson Kombian, the convicted jailbreaker who is standing trial at an Accra Fast Track high Court for the murder of two police officers at the Nakpanduri scarp in the Northern region, has resumed.

When the case was called on Thursday, neither Kombian nor his childhood friend who the accused person mentioned as his witness was in court.

When the case was called, George Assamaney, counsel for the accused, informed the court presided over by Justice Habib Logoh that his client was indisposed, hence his inability to appear in court.

The case was subsequently adjourned to January 28, 2015.

The childhood friend of the suspect is said to be into small-scale mining, and was not in town on the day of the alleged murder.

It is unclear if he is the only witness the accused person intends to use.

The suspect had finished giving evidence and had denied the charges levelled against him, saying he did not have anything to do with the death of the police officers; Constables Prince Agyare and Owusu Frimpong and did not shoot at the surviving police officer Constable Osei Bonsu.

The suspect has told the court that he was not even in Ghana on November 17, 2010, the day the police officers were killed as he was in Togo and could not have been the one who shot at the officers and complained of police brutality and the burning of his house by the police when they were looking for him.

He also denied that any court had ever convicted him of robbery and challenged anybody who has evidence to that effect to prove so and said he had nothing against the police officers.

About six witnesses have so far testified against Kombian including ASP Mumuni Abdulai, the former District Police Commander for Bunkprugu Yunyoo, the pathologists who conducted post-mortem on the deceased policemen and the surviving police officer in the attack, Constable Osei Bonsu.
