Over three months after three men were charged with the murder of mines commission engineer Trevor Abrams and remanded to prison the preliminary inquiry into the matter has not yet commenced; it is scheduled to start on the next court date which was given as August 12.
Rayon Paddy, Orin Arthur and Steve Prescod are charged with the murder of Abrams, who was gunned down along the Little Diamond Public Road, on February 27 of this year.
The murder of Abrams, 32, of Lot 131 Samatta Point, Grove Housing Scheme, was suspected to be a hit that was linked to his work.
The three men made a court appearance on Thursday lasy before Magistrate Ann McLennan at the Georgetown Magistrates’ Court 2 where they were given an adjourned date to August 12 which was set for commencement of the preliminary inquiry. However, according to Police Prosecutor Neville Jeffers the constant delay into the commencement of the PI is a result of the incomplete file and also an outstanding results of the ballistics test that was taken for examination. However, on the next court appearance, the court heard, these two elements will be completed and made available.
The court had previously heard that the prosecution has a total of about 20 witnesses to testify.
