Anthony De Paul Hope
The trio is facing a trial before Justice Roxanne George-Wiltshire at the Georgetown High Court for the murder of 53-year-old Colleen Forrester, whose body was found, bound, in a septic tank in William Street, Campbellville, on January 6, 2008.
The voir dire (a trial within a trial) is to determine the admissibility or inadmissibility of the statements taken from the third accused person (O’Neil).
The three men were fingered in the crime after Forrester disappeared on December 27, 2007. Reports are that the woman had been at her brother’s house at Lot 55 William Street, Campbellville, where she was allegedly strangled and beaten to death with a pestle (mortar stick) by her nephew, Anthony De Paul Hope, and his two friends who then dumped her body in the septic tank.
Neighbours noticed that she was missing and raised an alarm. On January 6, 2008, her body was found by police ranks with her ankles bound and her body wrapped in several sheets in the septic tank.
The trio has since maintained that they are not guilty to the murder charge. They are being represented by Attorneys-at-Law, George Thomas, Madan Kissoon and Melvin Duke.
State Prosecutors Stacey Goodings, Diana Kaulesar and Shawnette Austin will be presenting the case.
