Trial of accused in George Robert’s death resumes |27 January 2015

The trial of the accused in the death of 29-year-old George Robert resumed yesterday before the  Supreme Court .

This after the prosecution completed its selection  of the nine jurors required for  the trial to start – a process which started last week but was not completed as the persons who presented for the selection then either know the accused or the deceased forcing Judge Mohan Burhan to adjourn the start of the trial.

It was yesterday afternoon that the lawyer for the prosecution, State counsel Alexandra Madeleine started her presentation on the case.
The accused in the case, a 51-year-old male, is being defended by lawyers Nichol Gabriel and Tony Juliette.

The trial of the accused, the main suspect in an incident which happened on November 10,  2013 during which Mr Robert died as a result of a wound on the right side of his neck, will go on for the next two weeks.

Meanwhile, the trial of the accused in the death of young police constable Erickson Jules which started before the Supreme Court on January 6 is still ongoing.
