Defence lawyer fined $10,000 for late arrival at murder trial

The trial of the four men accused of murdering 72-year-old Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris began yesterday in the High Court in Georgetown, where Justice Navindra Singh fined one of their attorneys for being almost an hour and a half late for court. The joint charge against Orwin Hinds, Kevin October, Cleon Hinds and Roy Jacobs states that on June 30, 2011, they murdered Fiedtkou-Parris pursuant to an arrangement whereby money was intended to pass from one person to another.

They have all pleaded not guilty
