Former Ivorian Minister Justin Kone Katinan who was re-arrested by police last Friday has been charged with murder. He was first arrested under a warrant and is wanted in his country for war crimes during the post election disturbances in Cote d’Ivoire last year. He was granted bail earlier last week after prosecutors failed to start extradition proceedings against him as ordered by the court. His lawyer Patrick Sogbojor, who expressed shocked at the latest development, told Joy News his client refused to sign the charge sheet because he had been denied access to his lawyer at the time. Patrick Sogbojor said his client “was asked to write a statement and he asked them [security officers] what it was that he was being charged for…they said murder and he said murder of whom? And they said they didn’t know, they couldn’t tell him so my client said well I don’t know anything about it [the charge] and I am not going to speak until I have my lawyer present.” “…Are we so blind to the law? Are we so blind to what must be done in this country? Can we not just do the right things for once? Lawyer Sogbojor asked.
