High court refuses alleged ‘wife killer’ bail application.

The High Court in Accra presided over by Justice Merelyn Wood has refused a bail application filed by Prince Charles Dedjoe, the man who is alleged to have murdered.

Prince Charles Dedjoe, a business Executive is on a murder charge following allegation that he assaulted the wife Lillian Dedjoe, which led to her death.

The court while refusing the application said, it is not convinced that the accused person would avail himself for trial when granted bail.

The court also ruled that, looking at the severity and seriousness of the punishment that the offence comes with, the applicant must avail himself to stand trial.

The application for bail pending appeal was subsequently refused.
