10-year-old murder trial delayed 5 times, jurors waive allowances to support fined colleague.

In the trial of two teenagers accused of murdering 10-year-old Ismael Mensah Abdallah for alleged money rituals, jurors have waived their allowances and transport fees to support a colleague fined for absenteeism. The trial has been postponed to October 24, marking its fifth delay, primarily due to juror walkouts. The presiding judge initially fined the absent juror 1,200 Ghanaian cedis but rescinded it following the other jurors' gesture.
