Three robbers, who killed a taxi driver and stole his car, have been jailed for 1,200 months (100 years) each in hard labour by a Kumasi Circuit Court.
Daniel Domfeh, alias "Frenchman," 28, Daniel Dumonu, alias "Ntikumah" and Edward Arthur, alias "Ebo," both 25, already serving jail terms for other robbery offences denied the charge.
Mr. Otoo Boison, an Assistant State Attorney, told the court presided over by Mr. Justice Emmanuel Amoh-Yartey that the complainant is the owner of a Hyundai Taxi Cab.
He engaged the deceased, Bashiru Mohammed, to drive it.
On March 29, this year, Domfeh and Dumonu boarded the car from Asante-Mampong to Boanim, a near-by community.
He said when they got to Mprim-Junction, they were joined by Arthur and after covering some distance, the convicts ordered the driver to stop, which he did.
They seized the ignition key and subjected Bashiru to severe beating till he became unconscious, tied him to a tree and bolted with the car.
The body of the deceased was later recovered by the police and a post mortem examination attributed his death to severe bleeding from assault.
Domfeh was arrested at the Suame Magazine where he had taken the vehicle for repairs.
He led the police to arrest his accomplices.
Passing judgment, Mr.Justice Amoh-Yartey said the three were a danger to society, and that society would be better off without them.
The sentence, he said, was to also serve as a deterrent.
