Mar 13, 2020 News

Magistrate Renita Singh is expected to make a ruling in Marcus Bisram case on March 30, 2020. This was relayed to the court after closing submissions by the defence team for Bisram and the prosecution team. The case has run on for several weeks since the accused was extradited to Guyana from the United States of America.
At yesterday’s proceedings, the defence team led by Attorney Glenn Hanoman in the absence of Attorney Sanjeev Datadin, told the court that there is nothing that connects the accused to the murder of Faiyaz Narinedatt.
Narinedatt’s battered body was found on the Number 72 Village Public Road with visible marks of violence. He referred to the post-mortem report of the victim and alluded that the prosecution’s theory of how the incident took place was debunked by the post-mortem report.
He also submitted that the evidence points to a vehicular accident. Mention was also made about the main witness recanting his testimony on the previous court appearance and in that regard “can’t be used by the prosecution”, Hanoman said.
Meanwhile, Prosecutrix Stacy Goodings stated that the State is relying on the written submissions and believes that the State has a sufficient case.
In her response to Hanoman, Goodings told the court that the prosecution is also relying on a statement from a witness.
