Eion Collins, who is on trial for the attempted murder of a taxi driver, yesterday told Justice James Bovell-Drakes and a jury that he felt like “Satan” had taken possession of him at the time he allegedly committed the crime.
Collins was at the time leading his defence, which he opted to do in unsworn testimony from the prisoners’ dock.
The allegation against him is that on January 27, 2014 at Tuschen, East Bank Essequibo, he wounded Joel Mc Curdy, with intent to murder him. He has also been alternatively indicted for felonious wounding, for which it is alleged that he wounded Mc Curdy, with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, maim, disfigure or disable him.
