Statements admitted as evidence in Rubis Exec. murder PI
Jason Cort
All statements given by the men accused of murdering Rubis Executive, Jason Cort, were yesterday admitted into evidence by Magistrate Judy Latchman at the conclusion of a Voir Dire (trial within a trial).
Clifton Gibson, 30; Linton Eastman, 23; and Stancey Rodney, 27; of Perry Street, Tucville, are facing a preliminary inquiry (PI) for the indictable offence which allegedly occurred on June 7, 2015.
The court had commenced a Voir Dire to determine whether the statements were freely and voluntarily given and if they can be admitted as part of evidence in the PI.
Cort, a 27-year-old Accounts Executive, was gunned down in front of his Lot 262 Jamoon Drive, Meadow Brook Gardens home by gun toting 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, ring and an X-Box console.
According to reports, the couple, who had 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.
Assistant Superintendent of Police, Vishnu Hunt is presenting the prosecution’s case.
This matter has been adjourned until July 5.
