A 40-year-old trader was given a 10-year prison sentence for striking a public servant's head with an empty container, which resulted in his death. This came after Veronica Djoazaa, the trader, was found guilty by a seven-member jury following the trial. It is reported that Djoazaa, a bartender, threw the empty crate, striking the now-deceased Anthony Apurum in the head. After a miscommunication between the two, the incident is reported to have happened on October 2, 2021, at Zenu in Ashaiman. Djoazaa was sentenced appropriately by the court, which was presided over by Justice Marie-Louise Simmons.
Djoazaa was detained on manslaughter charges. According to the prosecution, the 48-year-old complainant, Anthony Apurum, who is now deceased, worked for the government and lived with his family in Zenu, Ashiaman. The dead visited a local bar run by the now-convicted accused on October 2, 2021, at approximately 7:30 p.m., according to the prosecution. The court was informed that Djoazaa picked up an empty Coca-Cola crate and flung it at the now-dead after they had a misunderstanding while the deceased was sipping his bottle of Guinness. The deceased suffered significant head injuries and bled heavily after the empty Coca-Cola crate struck his skull, according to the prosecution.
