Neesa Gopaul murder PI rescheduled for Friday

Apr 25, 2012 News

 

 

The continuation of the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the death of Neesa Gopaul will continue on Friday at 09:30 hrs. The matter was set for a future date since prosecution witness Simone De Nobrega was unable to make it to court yesterday. She is required for the continuation of cross examination by defence lawyer Vic Puran.
Puran is representing the mother of the slain teen, Bibi Gopaul. Her co-accused in the matter, Jarvis Small, is being represented by Senior Counsel Bernard De Santos.
The state is being represented by Pritima Kissoon who is prosecuting the matter and the PI is being heard by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Apart from De Nobrega, a  female Barbadian DNA specialist is expected to take the stand again. The woman is expected to make her appearance in early May.
Bibi Gopaul and Jarvis Small are going through the pre-trial hearing where they are accused of taking the life of the teenager who was found tucked inside a suitcase close to an abandoned resort along the Soesdyke/Linden Highway.
According to reports, the body was found by a family enjoying an outing at the creek. When the police recovered the body it was found with two dumb bells attached to a length of rope which was apparently being used to weigh down the body. It was items such as the dumb bells that led to the arrest of the mother and her lover.
So far, several police officers have testified in the matter along with a few civilians.  De Nobrega is expected to make her appearance on the new date.
