Magistrate Judy Latchman on Tuesday adjourned the trial of the men charged with dousing columnist Freddie Kissoon with human faeces, to allow the new prosecutor in the matter, time to familiarize himself with statements in the case.
The recommencement of the trial involving PPP members Kwame McCoy, 40, and Jason Abdulla, 34, and former bodyguard Shawn Hinds, 51, who are charged with assaulting Kissoon, a newspaper columnist and activist, whom they are accused of dousing with human faeces during an attack in 2010, was adjourned to October 12.
