Voir Dire underway in Two Colours murder trial
A voir dire (trial within a trial in the absence) is underway in the High Court trial of Lennox Wayne,
Lennox Wayne, called “Two Colours”
called “Two Colours”, and Melroy Doris.
The duo was indicted for the July 2014 murder of Lusignan cosmetologist, Ashmini Harriram. The actual trial began Thursday before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow and a 12-member mixed jury.
Last week, Police Sergeant, Collin Ross, faced intense questioning regarding the murder investigations.
Wayne‘s Counsel, Nigel Hughes, specifically asked the witness about his client‘s physical condition during the time of investigation and taking of the statement.
The policeman said that he noticed injuries on Wayne’s arm but he made no record of it in the station diary.
Officer Ross noted that he would have had to sustain the injuries before reaching the Vigilance Police Station.
However, the attorney suggested to the policeman that Wayne had been burned. Hughes suggested to the witness that the police had used methylated spirits as a combustible substance to set his client’s arm alight during the interrogation. The Policeman repeatedly denied the suggestion.
