The lawyer for Yankuba Touray who has been sentenced to death after being found guilty of murdering Ousman Koro Ceesay has said he will speak to his client and that they will file an appeal.
“Am going to file an appeal, simplicita. I’m going to talk to my client. Hopefully we will file an appeal,” Abdoulie Sissohor told The Fatu Network on Wednesday shortly after Mr Touray was handed the death sentence for killing Koro Ceesay.
Mr Touray, a former local government minister and military member of the AFPRC ruling council in the mid-1990s, was standing trial for the murder of fellow cabinet member Ousman Koro Ceesay.
Mr Ceesay was battered to death in the house of Mr Touray in June 1995 and on Wednesday the high court found Mr Touray guilty of the murder.
Judge Ebrima Jaiteh said Mr Touray did not only participate in the murder of Koro Ceesay but also took part in the cover up of the act by burning his body.
