Questioning of key witness in Bubacarr Keita’s trial pushed to next week as ‘workshop’ causes lawyer’s absence

The high court has adjourned Bubacarr Keita’s rape trial to December 15 following the absence of the defence counsel.

Hearing was supposed to continue on Thursday at 11am but state counsels quickly informed trial judge Momodou SM Jallow the defence counsel had said he was attending a workshop and would not make it to court. AA Marong then prayed for an adjournment ‘at the defence counsel’s instance’.

The judge adjourned the case to December 15.
