Second hung jury in 2008 Brickdam murder/robbery

Murder accused Rondell Bacchus will have to face a second retrial after another jury yesterday failed to reach a unanimous verdict on his guilt or innocence in the 2008 murder of scrap iron dealer Akbar Alli.

After spending close to three hours in deliberations, the jury returned and informed Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry that they were unable to reach a unanimous verdict.

As a result, Bacchus was ordered to be returned to the Georgetown Prisons,
