The Alleged Port Harcourt serial killer, Gracious West, has accused the SARS officers who arrested him of trying to frame him up for the multiple murders he was being accused of committing.
West who disclosed this while appearing in a Port Harcourt High Court, said he never took any policeman to identify any of the hotels they claimed he killed some girls in Port Harcourt.
David West while defending himself in Court alleged that some SARS officers took him to some hotels he did not know and has not lodged in all his life.
West insisted in court that he did not need to apologise to anyone because he did not kill anybody in any hotel.
He denied taking away the keys of hotel rooms where he killed some women in Port Harcourt, saying he did not sleep in any of the 8 hotels the police dragged him to.
The accused serial killer, while denying the signatures on the police statements in court tendered what he called his original signature as evidence.
He denied all the allegations against him.
The trail judge, Justice Adolphus Enebeli, after listening to his defence adjourned to March 23, 27, April 2 and 3 this year for continuation of cross examination.
