Police witness cross-examined as PI into Rubis executive’s death continues
Almost one year after he was gunned down, the preliminary inquiry (PI) into the murder
of Rubis executive, Jason Cort, continued yesterday, in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court with Police Superintendent Whittaker taking the stand.
Clifton Gibson, 30; Linton Eastman, 23; and Stancey Rodney, 27; of Perry Street, Tucville are accused of murdering Cort on June 7, last year, at Meadow
Brook Gardens, Georgetown.
When the matter was called, the police witness was cross-examined by Gibson’s attorney, Melvin Duke.
Thereafter, Police Prosecutor, Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Vishnu Hunt, declined to re-examine the witness. Magistrate Judy Latchman adjourned the matter to tomorrow when two other police witnesses are expected to testify.
Cort, a 27 year-old, accounts executive, was gunned down in front of his Jamoon Drive, Meadow Brook, Gardens home by gun totting bandits, shortly after he had arrived home with his fiancée, Shauna Garraway.
He was shot to the chest and died subsequently at the Balwant Singh Hospital.
It was reported that the bandits took Cort’s licenced firearm, cell phone, gold band, chain and ring and an X Box console.
According to reports, the couple, who have a two-year-old son, had just come from a Kingston location, and were preparing to head to another venue on East Bank Demerara when the attack occurred.
