Witnesses given more time to locate exhibits

Jul 02, 2010 News

Justice Brassington Reynolds sitting in the Berbice High Court, presiding over the Black Bush Polder headless body murder trial, on Wednesday granted an adjournment to next Tuesday to allow two prosecution witnesses time to locate their exhibits.
When the matter continued on Wednesday before a mixed jury, the court was told that the two witnesses were unable to locate their respective exhibits.
Danny Busjit, 27, of Mibicuri Black Bush Polder, is on trial for the murder of overseas-based Guyanese Kalidas Surujnarine, which occurred on November 26, 2005.
It is alleged that on the day in question Busjit along with others murdered the elderly man by cutting off his head at Mibicuri.
The matter was first adjourned on June 16th last upon a request made by attorney and state Prosecutor Dionne Mc Cammon, so as to give the two witnesses time to locate their exhibits.
However when the matter was called in court on Wednesday the position was the same.
Detective Sergeant Richard Frank, who had testified to finding US$344, six wrist watches, and a yellow metal chain after he was taken to a spot in the yard owned by Busjit’s mother, is to present those items in court.
The other witness, former detective Sheldon Nathaniel was not in a position to present the exhibits he is alleged to have recovered during his investigation of the murder. Among the items that Nathaniel is to present are photographs of the deceased, a pair of dentures, a pair of long black trousers and a pair of black trunks.
A pair of leather sandals, a red torchlight, and an eagle-shaped gold pendant were also found.
Nathaniel told the court that he placed the items in separate bags after which he placed his initials and lodged same with the Station Sergeant.
The following day upon returning to the scene he discovered what appeared to be a human skull about sixty yards from where the headless body was located.
Attorneys Mursulene Bacchus, in association with Kim Kyte John, is appearing for Busjit
