According to Bosso, Asiedu took a cutter and knife from him and he (Bosso) boarded a car and left the vicinity.

The accused reportedly picked a ladder in the house and climbed to the porch of the top floor and entered the bedroom of the MP.

He allegedly slew the MP when he who woke up in the midst of the robbery.
