Voir dire commences into 2005 murder

Oct 08, 2013 News

A voir dire (trial within a trial) is currently being conducted at the High Court, into the 2005 killing of Lilendra Roopnarine called Boyo.
The voir dire commenced yesterday before Justice James Bovell Drakes.
Murder accused Khemraj Boodhoo, called “Sham” and “Shaw”, is currently on trial for the alleged killing.
Boodhoo had pleaded not guilty to the indictment which states that on July 5, 2005, he murdered Lilendra Roopnarine.
The accused is being represented by Attorney Keavon Bess, while the case is being prosecuted by State Counsel Natasha Backer.
Boodhoo’s matter was called up for trial in 2010 but the indictment was quashed after the presiding judge found that the magistrate’s committal was bad in law.
However, the charge was still valid, so the judge ordered the preliminary inquiry to be redone within 120 days.
On Tuesday, a 12-member jury was empanelled to preside over Boohoo’s trial.
