The preliminary inquiry (PI) into the attempted murder of Police Constables Rajindra Singh and Damintra Intrapaul continued yesterday.
Colin Jones, Randy Mars, Jafar Simpson, Anthony Watson and Basil Morgan are the defendants in the case, which is being heard before acting Chief Magistrate Priya Sewnarine-Beharry at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court.
Two witnesses from the prosecution were present and Sergeant Mitchel Caesar, who is attached to the Brickdam Police Station, took the witness stand and testified.
As time was too short for the cross-examination of the sergeant and the testimony of the other witness, the matter was stood down until April 14.
On December 2, Jones was charged with murdering two of his former gang members and another man and was jailed for eight years on a series of other charges, including cultivation of ganja and possession of an unlicensed weapon and ammunition.
Jones was jointly charged along with Mars and Simpson for discharging a loaded firearm, murder, attempted murder and setting fire to a building.
Among the other charges levelled against Jones are murder, attempted murder and escaping lawful custody.
