The prosecution called two witnesses as the trial commenced. The first witness Geoffrey Andrews, the father of the victims, was called to the witness box. According to the father, he received a telephone call on the day of the incident and went to the area where he saw his sons lying in a pool of blood.
He went on to state that on September 25, 2006 at the Georgetown Public Hospital, he identified the bodies. The next witness was Patrick Knights.
