Voir dire ongoing in Cotton Tree murder trial

Jan 15, 2013 News

A voir dire is expected to continue in the Berbice High Court before Justice Brassington Reynolds in the absence of the jury when the murder trial of Nazrudeen Jahoot, called “Buddy”, of Cotton Tree, West Coast Berbice continues. Jahoot is indicted for the murder of one-time neighbour, Ramlall Mangal, called “Ochro”  and “Dereck” on August 25, 2008 at Cotton Tree West Coast Berbice.  The voir dire began on Thursday before the main trial which is expected to continue today.
This was after defence attorney Charrandass Persaud made some objections before the matter began.
Jahoot, who was 18 at the time, is accused of murdering his neighbour, following a misunderstanding which ended in a fight.
After the jury was sworn in and the indictment read by state prosecutor Prithina Kissoon, the matter was adjourned for a few days upon a request by defence attorney Charrandass Persaud after he had informed the court that he had only received the deposition a few minutes before.
However, before the trial began on Thursday the defence attorney raised certain objections which prompted the voir dire.
