Robb Street granny execution…Remaining duo for High Court trial

Jan 29, 2014 News

The remaining two of the four men accused in the execution-style killing of a 72-year-old Robb Street resident, are now set to join their accomplices to stand trial in the Supreme Court.
A Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the murder of Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris was conducted before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court. The four men who were brought before the courts on account of her murder were Orin Hinds, 37, Cleon Hinds, 36, Kevin October, 31, and Roy Jacobs, 36.
The charge laid against the four detailed that on June 30, 2011 at Robb Street, Georgetown, they murdered Mrs. Fiedtkou-Parris. Through the PI, the Prosecution led by Sergeant Neville Jeffers managed to draw on their 30 witnesses to successfully establish a prima facie case of murder against all of the accused.
Previously, on January 13, Kevin October and Cleon Hinds were committed to stand trial in the High Court and the Magistrate had additionally accepted their confession statements as evidence in the matter.
Yesterday, Roy Jacobs and Orin Hinds stood before Magistrate McLennan, who informed them that the court was satisfied that a prima facie case had been made out against them to stand trial for murder at the next practical time at the Demerara Assizes.
A date for the commencement of the murder trial has not been fixed.
Additionally, a Voir Dire was previously conducted to determine whether the confession statement of Orin Hinds was admissible and Magistrate McLennan yesterday indicated that the court believes that his statements were freely and voluntary given. It was therefore admitted into evidence.
According to previous reports, Parris was riddled with bullets by two men who entered her home requesting an audience with her. She was reportedly shot twice under the armpit, once in the chest and once in the back moments before her assailants escaped in a waiting motorcar.
The woman’s brother had reportedly witnessed the entire ordeal and had related his knowledge of the events to the court.
