MFK murder conspiracy… Main witness grilled in cross-examination
Murder Accused: Lennox Wayne
Lennox Wayne, the prosecution’s main witness in the trial of Police Sergeant Leon Lindo, who is charged for conspiring to murder businessman Mohamed F. Khan, was yesterday intensely cross-examined by Attorney Glen Hanoman.
Hanoman is representing Lindo in the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) which continued yesterday, before Magistrate Judy Latchman in the Georgetown Magistrates’ Courts.
During the cross-examination, Wayne was grilled with a series of questions in relation to testimony he had given at a previous court hearing. After Wayne completed giving his evidence, Police Prosecutor, Corporal Bharat Mangru declined to re-examine him.
Lindo, of 220 Belle West, Canal Number Two, West Bank Demerara is accused of conspiring with Wayne to murder Khan between July 10 and 18, 2014 at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID), Headquarters, Eve Leary, Georgetown.
The Sergeant is currently out on bail.
Mohamed F. Khan’s dismembered body was discovered on a dam at Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara on September 23, 2014. His skull, which was wrapped in a plastic bag, was located several feet from the body.
Khan, 54, had escaped execution in July 2014 at La Grange, West Bank Demerara, when a gunman shot him in his abdomen shortly after he had returned to Guyana. He had fled to neighbouring Venezuela after selling his business on Hadfield Street, and had spoken of threats to his life.
The charge against Lindo stemmed from revelations made by whistleblower Wayne. It was reported that Wayne provided police with a statement which said that he and the accused conspired to kill Khan.
The PI continues on August 2.
Wayne is at present an inmate of the Georgetown Prisons awaiting High Court trial for the 2014 murder of Lusignan Cosmetologist, Ashmini Harriram.
