An Accra High Court has acquitted and discharged a man who was on trial for murder.

The court's decision came after the prosecution failed to convince the judge. They did not prove the case beyond a reasonable doubt.

This means the evidence presented by the prosecution was not strong enough to find the accused guilty.

The legal principle of reasonable doubt requires a very high level of certainty for a conviction in criminal cases.

The accused walked free from court after the ruling.
