Daasebre Gyamena freed!

The jury at the Isleworth Crown Court in London trying ace Ghanaian musician, Daasebre Gyamena for drug offences has returned a not guilty verdict.The 12-member Jury comprising five women and seven men had to receive directions from presiding Judge Mark McDowell to return a majority decision just about 2pm after they repeatedly failed to reach a verdict.An elated in-law of Daasebre, Chris Renty, who was in court to listen to the verdict, could hardly catch his breath as he related the joy of the Ghanaian community that had hoped for the best for Daasebre.

He told JoyFM; “We were all overjoyed. In fact my wife collapsed onto the floor after the verdict was announced.”Chris said Daasebre had attended the hearing and sat through proceedings with a bowed head and without emotion.He only lifted his head and managed a smile after the verdict was announced.Chris Renty told JOFM Daasebre was expected to return to police custody to complete his discharge processes and could be expected back home by Monday or Tuesday.

The ace musician was arrested last July on suspicion he was importing 100 kilogrammes of cocaine into the United Kingdom.A first trial failed to reach a verdict on two occasions even though prosecutors had insisted he was guilty.A re-trial therefore became obligatory.
