The State has closed the case where Inktech Managing Director Mathew Mohan and two others are charged with the murder of Lusaka businessman Sajid Itowala.
And Lusaka Supreme Court Judge Gregory Phiri, sitting as High Court Judge, has set February 14, 2011 as date for handing in of written submissions ahead of the Judgement.
Judge Phiri said the date for Judgement in the matter will also be set on February 14.
State Advocate Benson Mpalo had earlier informed the court that the state had closed its evidence in rebuttal.
This was after African Gases Limited Executive Director Phillip Pumbwe concluded his testimony in the case.
And Mr. Pumbwe testified that African Gases Limited had no business dealings with Mathew Mohan and no payments were made to him.
Mr. Pumbwe, however, told the court that his company had business dealings with Mohan’s father, a Mr. J.C Mathew.
He denied ever signing a forest contract where Mohan was also made to sign as a witness.
