Trial for 2004 murder underway
Yet another murder trial commenced yesterday before Madame Justice Dawn Gregory. On trial for the murder of Hansel Melville is Squince McLennan called “Killer”.
Mc Lennon who hails from Buxton, East Coast of Demerara is accused of killing Melville on January 11, 2004. The state is being represented by Konyo Sandiford and Judith Gildharie-Mursalin, while Mc Lennon is being represented by attorney at law Basil Williams.
The trial commenced yesterday in voir dire, in the absence of the mixed jury. The prosecution is fighting for the admittance of a caution statement, which was allegedly given by the defendant on May 29, 2004.
Sergeant Chabinauh Singh was the first witness to be called yesterday.
The matter is expected to continue today before Justice Gregory.
Mc Lennan was committed to stand trial in the High Court back in 2005 for the murder.
