Trial of accused child rapist ends with hung jury

The trial of Deochand Ramlall, who is charged with raping a 12-year-old, ended in a hung jury last Friday.

As a result, Ramlall will have to face a new trial.

Ramlall, also called Nasho, appeared before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow in the High Court in Georgetown, on the charge that on March 20th, 2013 he sexually penetrated a 12-year-old child.

Ramlall has denied the indictment.

The proceedings were held in-camera.
