Though accepting that it was her signature on a statement presented to the court by the prosecution, Taramattie Fredericks yesterday vehemently denied ever telling police that her son Lakeraj had called and told her that his brother-in-law Clifton Bonus had been shot.
Fredericks was testifying at the trial of her son, Lakeraj Fredericks, who is accused of murdering Bonus at Linden, sometime between June 1st and June 8th, 2011.
Fredericks told the court that days before her son-in-law was found dead, he had left her Nottinghamshire, Linden home, where he resided with his wife, her daughter.
When he failed to return after some time had passed, Fredericks said, she reported him missing and because of a phone call she subsequently received, she went back to the police station.
