Dairy Bar murder trial commences

Jul 09, 2010 News

The murder trial of a man accused of shooting security guard Noel Jones at point blank range to the chest got underway yesterday.
Seon Yaw is accused of killing the 73-year-old guard between December 5 and 6 of 2004. The incident happened at the then popular fast food outlet the Original Diary Bar.
Yaw is appearing before Justice William Ramlal.
State Prosecutors Shivani Balcharan and Judith Gildharie-Mursalin are presenting the state.
Yaw is being represented by Senior Counsel Bernard Dos Santos in association with Pamela Dos Santos.
First to take the witness stand yesterday was former employee of the Dairy Bar, Annalie Caesar.
The woman yesterday gave evidence in chief about the night in question.
After being cross-examined, Mr. Dos Santos suggested to Caesar that she was giving “make up evidence”.
The lawyer opined that Caesar and Jones might have shared an “intimate relationship.” After being told that, the woman broke down in tears prompting Justice Ramlal to give a 10-minute recess. After the recess she continued to give evidence. The state witness stumbled again as Dos Santos suggested to her that she was giving contradictory evidence.
The woman at this point was asked by the judge if she had told the magistrate anything that she wasn’t telling them now. She responded in the negative.
However minutes later Dos Santos pointed out various parts of her evidence which she gave in the magistrate court that she had failed to state in the High Court. As the case continued late into the afternoon, senior counsel asked for the matter to be adjourned.
His application was granted and the matter is expected to continue on Monday.
Jones was on duty at the Original Dairy Bar when three armed bandits stormed the fast food business place on the night in question. The bandits managed to cart off $132,000.
Eyewitnesses had said that the guard was pushed into a toilet where he was shot once in the chest.
