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.
