State Prosecutors have closed their case in the trial in which William Baah, an Assemblyman for Denkyira-Obuasi and some 13 others have been charged for the murder of Major Maxwell Mahama, the military officer murdered in cold blood.
This was after calling 14 witnesses in the matter. All of them have been cross-examined by the defence lawyers.
