This was after the prosecution appealed for an adjournment to give room for further investigations into the matter.
Hearing of the case which commenced in August this year following the arrest of the suspect has stalled largely to the absence of the trial judge who at a point had to take leave.
Richard Appiah was arrested in August this year after a police investigation discovered decapitated body parts stored in his fridge at his residence in Abesim, a community close to Sunyani.
Police investigations identified the mutilated bodies in Richard Appiah’s fridge as belonging to a 13-year-old and a 15-year-old boy who went missing in the neighbourhood.
Their names were given as Louis Agyemang, believed to be a family member of the suspect, and Stephen Sarpong, 15, whose body was dismembered by the accused person.
The suspect is facing various charges including murder.
