The criminal trial involving one Mariama Sarr, who is standing trial on murder charges is finally about to come to an end, as Justice Moses Richards has informed both the defence and state counsel that the court will notify them of the day of judgment.

Justice Richards disclosed that he could not give a definite day as he has over 10 judgments to deliver, and they are capital offence cases. At the court sitting, yesterday, Lawyer Assan Martins for the accused and the senior state counsel, Mebo Jones, told the court that they have adopted their written briefs in the matter. Mariama Sarr is alleged to have murdered her adopted child on September 29, 2008 at Juffureh village in the North Bank Region.
