The Juvenile Court has today ruled that two minors charged in connection with the murder of 21-year-old Ahusan Basheer are innocent, claiming the state had failed to produce enough evidence to prove their guilt.
A Juvenile Court Spokesperson today told Minivan News that the state produced five witnesses to the court against the accused.
‘’The five of them said they were not sure if the two minors accused were there at the scene of the incident,’’ the spokesperson said. According to the Juvenile Court, the two minors presented were identified as a male and a female, though further identification could not be given for legal reasons.
‘’The state attorney told the Juvenile Court that the statement made by the witnesses conflicted with the statement they had previously gave to the police,’’ the Juvenile Court spokesperson said. The court added that no other forensic or digital evidence had been produced by the prosecution.
