Attorney-General Gloria Akuffo says fresh investigations have begun into the murder of Abuakwa MP JB Danquah Adu after the state suspended the prosecution of two suspects.

The Justice minister told Joy News, although the two - Daniel Asiedu and Vincent Dosoo - were discharged Tuesday morning, she expected them to be rearrested.

"...the two are not gone... they are not walking at all," she said.

She said the state is opening a new docket into the MP's killing on February 9, 2016.

Eyebrows are being raised at the decision of the state to file nolle prosequi indicating it is discontinuing the prosecution.

It has taken 16 months to get to the trial stage where the court is piecing together a jury to hear the case.

Just when the trial was about to start, the Attorney-General has pressed the re-start button.

"We have reviewed the docket and we have come to the conclusion that there are aspects of the matter that require further investigation," the Justice minister told Joy News Midday.

The minister also told Accra-based Citi FM, "I do not go to court if I do not feel I have a great chance of securing conviction"

Nolle prosequi is a term that may becoming more familiar with the public in recent weeks after the same legal process was used to drop a case against 8 NPP supporters suspected to have gatecrashed a court hearing to free their colleagues.

This was 14 days ago and brings to two, the cases in which the state has had to beat a retreat in court on a trial of considerable public interest.

In a Joy News interview, a sister of the late parliamentarian re-set her tears after news broke that the wheels of justice has been reset.

Wailing mixed with inaudible speech, she begged the state and the media to help unravel the truth behind the fatal stabbing of the politician.
