As the highly anticipated Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the killing of 17-year-old Shaquille Grant commenced at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court on Monday, three witnesses were called to the stand.
Grant’s grandmother, Frances Grant, and his grandfather, Gordon Grey testified to witnessing the post mortem examination. They were also involved in identifying the teen’s body.
Police Sergeant Phillip Bowman was the third witness of the day. He also said that he witnessed the post mortem and procured statements from one of the accused, Terrence Wallace.
Police Prosecutor Stephen Telford is prosecuting the matter which is being heard by Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry. Telford informed the court that the prosecution plans to call as many as 18 witnesses to the stand as the PI progresses.
Yesterday, two more witnesses were called upon to testify. Romel Bollers and Troy Greenidge, mutual friends of Grant, both claimed to have been present at the time of the shooting. Bollers is said to have sustained injuries during the encounter.
On September 11, ranks on a mobile police patrol swooped down on a group of youths in a yard at Caesar Street, Agricola.
