Picture Boy murder trial continues
– Eyewitness to shooting testifies
Another witness was called to give evidence in the murder trial of Cyon Collier.
Collier called ‘Picture Boy’, stands before Justice Navindra Singh at the High Court, charged with the double-murder of Ray Walcott called ‘Sugar’ and Carl Andrews called ‘Alo’ on September 23, 2006, at Victoria Four Corner, East Coast Demerara.
Senior State Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin is presenting the prosecution’s case, while Collier is being represented by Attorney at law Lyndon Amsterdam.
Kwesi Stewart called ‘Silver,’ testified that he and Collier had grown up together and that while he, Stewart, was playing dominoes with some friends, ‘Sugar’ and ‘Alo’ were watching the game when Collier rode up on a motor cycle with a “big gun” slung across his back.
Stewart said Collier sent ‘Sugar’ to buy cigarettes which he did, after which ‘Sugar’ and Collier each smoked a cigarette. Collier was speaking with them when he began cranking the gun and aimed at ‘Sugar’.
Stewart said he and ‘Alo’ were running towards the seawall but Collier never shot at him, only at ‘Alo’, who jumped a fence into one Nicola Goodchild’s yard. Stewart said Collier then went back to the road where he joined a minibus.
Inspector Nolan Burnett and Detective Deputy Superintendent of Police Lyndon Lord were back in the witness box yesterday to give evidence.
The trial is expected to continue today.
