‘Nasty Man’ to face High Court for murder of footballer
Having been charged before for murder when he was just a teenager, 25-year-old Dellon Henry, also
Delon ‘Nasty Man’ Henry
known as ‘Nasty Man’ was yesterday committed to stand trial in the High Court for the murder of an East Ruimveldt resident.
Henry, of Houston Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara, will face a judge and jury at the next sitting of the Demerara Assizes for allegedly killing Dexter Griffith on September, 29, 2015 at East Ruimveldt, Georgetown.
According to reports, Griffith, 36, a popular ‘Back Circle’ footballer, was shot nine times about the body by two gunmen. The victim was found lying in a drain with gunshot wounds by his mother, Lavern Griffith.
At the conclusion of a Preliminary Inquiry (PI) in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts, Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan ruled that a Prima Facie case had been made out against the accused for the indictable offence.
Attorney Adrian Thompson, who represented the accused, submitted that Police Prosecutor, Inspector Neville Jeffers put forward insufficient evidence to support the prosecution’s case.
Thompson stated that the prosecution’s entire case was based on an identification (ID) parade that was conducted at the Criminal Investigation Department, Eve Leary, Georgetown.
Thompson affirmed that the ID parade was conflicting, since a brother of the deceased, Keshawn Griffith, identified the same photograph that was published in the media the day before the ID parade.
However, the prosecutor told the court that there was sufficient evidence for the accused to be committed.
Murdered: Dexter Griffith
He said that the evidence of Keshawn Griffith was never discredited.
Henry currently has two pending matters before City Magistrate Fabayo Azore, for the possession of illegal firearm and ammunition.
It is alleged that on October 2, 2015 at Agricola, East Bank Demerara, Henry had a .38 revolver in his possession, when he was not the holder of a firearm licence. It was also alleged that on the same day, at Agricola, he had eight .38 rounds of ammunition in his possession without being the holder of a firearm licence. He pleaded not guilty to those charges.
