Picture boy trial…Crime scene photos tendered in court

Oct 08, 2011 News

Photographs from the 2006 murder of businessman Chandrapaul Persaud, called ‘Kero Man’ of Non Pareil, East Coast Demerara, were tendered in court, yesterday as the murder trial continued before Justice Winston Patterson.
On trial for the murder is Cyon Collier also called ‘Picture Boy”.
On Thursday the victim’s wife, Bibi Nazema Isshack, took to the witness box.
She recollected about what happened on that fateful night. After the wife had given her account, the couple’s neighbour Liloutie Dhanai was called to give her evidence in chief.
She spoke about what she remembered seeing on the night in question.
Persaud, also known as ‘Ravin’ and ‘Kero man’ was shot and killed outside his residence by one of three gunmen after he put up a fight during a robbery. He pelted his attacker with drink bottles.
His wife had suspected that he may have recognised the man, as he normally travelled throughout East Coast Demerara with his Canter truck selling wholesale goods to shops.
Two masked men armed with ‘big guns’ had entered the kitchen and confronted the man’s wife and daughters.
The gunmen demanded cash and jewellery and the woman said she told them they could have anything but begged them not to hurt her family.
She said one of the men followed her into the bedroom while the other remained with her daughters in the kitchen.
She then gave him three gold rings, including her wedding ring, a Citizen watch and about $100,000 which he took and pushed into his pocket.
Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin is representing the State, while attorney at law Lyndon Amsterdam is for the defendant.
