The murder trial of Police Corporal Sherwin Smith, who was indicted for the killing of drug counsellor Ralph Turpin in 2011, began yesterday in the High Court before a jury and Justice Brassington Reynolds.
The September 2011 killing occurred at a Stabroek Market food stand when Turpin went to the assistance of a woman who was being physically assaulted by a man.
State attorney Teshana Lake called her first witness to the stand yesterday afternoon and the woman testified to being present when Turpin was shot.
