 Y Benihai Côr has adonnedd y case of alleged conspiracy, kidnapping and murder of Soni Eici, the Ocaegili of Kulukulu community against Chief John Tyn Aselege, the EAS area of Wari Kingdom, and 11 others to 26 May 2021 for further hearing. Council to the First Defendants, CEO O' Keke had told the court that he received the call from the correctional centre that the accused person was ill. He later informed the court that the accused had called to complain that the prison staff left him behind while taking the other accused persons to court. Speaking to newsmen after the sitting, council to the family of late Soni Eici, Barrister Matthew Edagasi said the matter was slated for continuation. But the correctional centre did not produce one of the defendants and trial could not go on in the absence of the defendants in line with the provision of the law. They did not produce one of the defendants and trial cannot go on in the absence of one of the defendants. That is the position of the law. They must all be complete because they are on the face of the charge together. So that was what's told the hearing for today. That is a very, very worrisome development. The correctional centre are very aware of today's date and it is their duty under the constitution to convey image to and fro the court for trial, on trial dates. So if for any reason for their own do I say negligence or inefficiency and they allow matter to drag on because they fail to do what they ought to have done, it is unfortunate and we do not think that we help the smooth administration of criminal justice and again we are saying they should wake up to their responsibility. Flimsy excuses will no longer avail them as an excuse for them to delay justice unnecessarily. We are condemning that and we are vehemently opposed to that attitude.
