A jury is likely to return a verdict on Wednesday in the trial of Shakir Mohamed, who is charged with the murder of Shewraney Doobay.
Both the prosecution and defence presented closing addresses to the jury yesterday.
Justice Brassington Reynolds, who is presiding over the trial, then announced that he will sum-up the case on Wednesday morning before handing it over to the jurors for their consideration.
Mohamed is on trial before Justice Reynolds and the 12-member jury for the murder of Doobay, called “Monica,” in the course or furtherance of a robbery on May 24, 2011. Mohamed has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Doobay, 58, was found dead in her Echilibar Villas, Campbellville home. A post-mortem examination revealed that she died as a result of eight wounds inflicted to her head.
Mohamed had been jointly charged with Doobay’s nephew, Mark Singh, but his co-accused died in hospital on January 4, 2012.
Mohamed is represented by attorneys Jainarine Singh and Moti Singh. Meanwhile, the state is presented by Prosecutor Mercedes Thompson.
