An Assistant Superintendent of Police, Drambi Vandi, who allegedly killed a Lagos-based lawyer, Omobolanle Raheem, on Christmas Day on Wednesday, told a Lagos State High Court sitting at Tafawa Balewa Square, that he was going to file a no-case submission in a bid to quash the criminal charge.
He added, “The defect was caused by the largest shattered bullet fragment. The target path of the bullet is determined by the relative positions of all injuries to each other. In this case, we determined that the target path was from left to right.
“From the base of the severity of the injuries seen, the bullet was moving at the maximum force which was likely to be a discharge from a close range. A bullet could strike an object and bounce in the direction of the body.During cross-examination, the defence counsel asked the pathologist if he can determine through his post-mortem report the person who pulled the trigger that killed the deceased and he replied he could not determine that.
Odutola also argued that the witness based his post-mortem records on media reports but Williams responded that all conclusions were made based on findings discovered at the autopsy. After listening to the witness, Justice Ibironke Harrison, announced that the prosecutor has closed its case and ordered both counsel to file their adoption for final written address within five days, and adjourned the case till February 28, 2023.All rights reserved.
