Ex-cop implicated by accused in burnt taxi driver’s murder denies knowledge of crime

Travis David, who was allegedly implicated by the accused in the murder of taxi driver Bhomeshwar Sukhdeo, yesterday testified that he never killed the deceased nor had anything to do with the crime.

According to Balram Singh’s caution statement, which was admitted into evidence last Thursday, he confessed that it was he and David who murdered Sukhdeo.

Singh is on trial for the crime before Justice Navindra Singh and a 12-member jury at the High Court, in Georgetown. The charge against him is that between January 19 and January 27, 2010, he murdered Sukhdeo. He has pleaded not guilty.

In his testimony, David told the court that he knows Singh, with whom he worked on the same minibus as a conductor for about four years.
