The charge sheet furthered that both accused, on the same date and address, broke and entered into the dwelling house of Komba Lahai (complainant), and stole certain valuable properties, which include one plasma television, valued at four million, one hundred and eighty thousand Leones, (Le4,180,000), one DVD, one HP computer laptop, one dining chair and other valuable properties, which sum up to fifty seven million, one hundred and fifty seven thousand Leones. The properties belong to the complainant.
The police prosecutor, ASP Williams, sought for an adjournment on the grounds that she wanted to have a proper conference with her witness (s). Her application was granted.
