Shooting death at Subryanville hotel… Prosecution declines to call eyewitness

Oct 18, 2018 News

Special Prosecutor, Dexter Todd who was assigned by the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to prosecute the matter involving the owner of a Subryanville Hotel who is charged with murder, has declined to call an eyewitness.
Erwin Bacchus, 45, of Fifth Avenue, Subryanville, Georgetown, is accused of killing his neighbour Jason De Florimonte.
Bacchus was not required to plead to the indictable offence which stated that on August 4, last, at Subryanville, Georgetown, he murdered De Florimonte.
He is currently on remand for the offence.
During yesterday’s hearing, Special Prosecutor Todd and Attorney-at-Law Glen Hanoman were engaged in a private conversation with Principal Magistrate Judy Latchman, which lasted for about 10 minutes.
Thereafter, Magistrate Latchman told the court that the Special Prosecutor had made a decision to decline eyewitness, Terrence Newsum, from giving evidence on behalf of the State.
Newsum is alleged to have witnessed when Bacchus allegedly shot and killed De Florimonte.
The Magistrate added that based on Todd’s decision, the court will grant him time to dialogue with the DPP. The matter comes up again next week Wednesday for continuation.
