Two accused cleared of murdering Laing Ave taxi driver

Reagus Lamazon and Samuel McIntyre, two of the men accused of murdering Laing Avenue taxi driver Orin David, were yesterday freed after a court found that there was insufficient evidence for them to stand trial.

David was murdered on August 1, 2016, in Georgetown.

Magistrate Dylon Bess, who presided over the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the charge against Lamazon, of 51 D’Urban Street, and McIntyre, stated that the prosecution was tasked with proving beyond a reasonable doubt that it was the defendants who shot and killed David.

During the PI, Prosecutor Tracy Gittens called 12 witnesses and relied on ten photos and the post-mortem report.
