While testifying that his son left his (Joseph‘s) house at the age of consent and began to assist Marley while embarking on his own career in music, Joseph said that he saw the deceased three days before his death.
He added that he saw the deceased’s casket only in a picture. Joseph further asserted that the deceased’s landed property was in the custody of his mother-in-law, adding that the deceased often told him about his possessions held by his wife and her family.
Mr Aloba Joseph claimed his daughter-in-law had been unfaithful to his late son with allegation that Mohbad’s wife put sleeping pills into his food when they were living with Marley.
