The two young men who were charged for the November 2007 murder of nine-year-old Sade Stoby are to face a High Court trial.
No date for the trial has been disclosed to this newspaper but it was noted that the prisoners are at the Camp Street Prison. Relatives of the slain girl had recently lamented about the lengthy time that the case was taking to conclude.
On November 2, 2007, nine-year-old Sade Stoby was on her way home from school when she was raped and murdered.
It took family members almost two days of searching before they could find Sade’s decomposing body floating in the “fore-foot” (a shallow trench in the Mocha community).
An autopsy has proven that the child died from a trauma to the head. It also showed that she wasn’t dead when she was thrown into the “fore-foot” because there was the presence of mud in her lungs.
Two young men from the area were subsequently arrested and charged.
