Adrian James, an eyewitness in the Sherwin Barnwell murder trial, told the court that he saw the accused slapping and stamping the deceased Nohar Bahadur when he gave his evidence before Justice Franklyn Holder in the High Court yesterday.
The witness told the court in his evidence-in-chief that he was sitting on his bicycle a short distance away and he saw Barnwell slapping and stamping Bahadur in his chest on the night in question.
He also mentioned that he told Barnwell that Bahadur was not the type of person to trouble anyone. Barwell then replied thatBahadur had slapped him some time and continued to slap and stamp him.
Barnwell is on trial for the murder of Bahadur who was beaten to death in 2006.
Meanwhile, in Justice Roxane George’s court a jury was empanelled for the rape trial of Devon Mc Farlene c/d Kang which will commence tomorrow.
