Cotton Tree man on trial for murder
The charge of murder against Nazrudeen Jahoot, called “Buddy”, of Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice, began on Tuesday in the Berbice High Court before Justice Brassington Reynolds and a mixed Jury.
Jahoot, who was 18 at the time, is accused of murdering his one-time neighbour, Ramlall Mangal, called “Ochro” and “Dereck”, on August 25, 2008 at Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice following a misunderstanding.
After the jury was sworn and the indictment was read by state prosecutor Prithina Kissoon the matter was adjourned to today upon a request by defence attorney Charrandass Persaud, after he informed the court that he had only received the deposition a few minutes before.
