George Bacchus murder trial to resume on Monday

Nov 28, 2008 News

Justice Claudette La Bennett is expected to make a ruling Monday on the voir dire that has been ongoing for the past week in Delon ‘Fatboy’ Reynolds’s case. Reynolds is accused of murdering self-confessed death squad informant, George Bacchus.

The voir dire continued yesterday in the High Court and submissions were delivered by the prosecution and the defence. The matter has been adjourned to Monday.

Earlier this month, the trial was aborted because one of the jurors was related to a witness. That witness was reportedly one of the investigating officers in the case. This is now the second voir dire (trial within a trial) that is taking place in this case.

Bacchus was found dead in bed at his Princes Street, Lodge home on June 24, 2004, after he had made bombshell revelations about a death squad operating in the city, for which he said he once gathered information. His brother, Shafeek Bacchus, had been killed a few months prior.

Funeral parlour co-owner, Debra Douglas, and her nephew, Fabian ‘Fabie’ Jessop, had been jointly charged with Reynolds with Bacchus’s murder but they were subsequently freed due to insufficient evidence.
