Voir dire underway in Robb St granny murder trial

A voir dire is currently being conducted before Justice Navindra Singh as the trial of the quartet accuse of murdering 72-year-old Clementine Fiedtkou-Parris continued yesterday.

The voir dire is set to continue when the matter is called again at 9 this morning at the High Court in Georgetown, before Justice Singh and a 12-member jury.

Orwin Hinds, Kevin October, Cleon Hinds and Roy Jacobs are charged with murdering Fiedtkou-Parris on June 30th, 2011. They have all pleaded not guilty to the charge.

Fiedtkou-Parris was shot at her 42 Robb Street, Georgetown home. The woman was taken to the Georgetown hospital, where she was pronounced dead shortly after.

According to prosecutor Teshanna James-Lake in her opening address on Monday, police investigations later led to the accused being arrested and charged.

Orwin Hinds, October, Cleon Hinds and Jacobs are represented by attorneys-at-law George Thomas, Moti Singh, Raymon Ali and Maxwell McKay, respectively.
