Alvin Barkley, who is accused of murdering barber Yohan Hunte in 2012 at the Route 40 minibus park during a row over electricity theft, is expected to learn his fate on Monday in the High Court.
Barkley has been on trial before a 12-member jury and Justice Diana Insanally in the High Court for the murder of Hunte, who was also known as the “Man on the Roof” after he clambered onto the roof of the Georgetown Prison to protest against prison’s conditions.
The two men got into a fight after Hunte accused Barkley of stealing his electricity. Both men were working as barbers in the vicinity of the bus park when the fight broke out.
State attorney Mercedes Thompson, in her closing arguments, cautioned the jury not to sympathise with Barkley
