Magistrate Rochelle Liverpool is expected to deliver her ruling in the case against alleged drug traffickers Stephen Vieira, Tazim Gafoor, Nazim Gafoor and Sherwayne De Abreu, on January 24, 2019.
She made the disclosure yesterday following unsworn statements made by the Gafoors and De Abreu, who, along with Vieira, were charged with having 84.9 kilogrammes of cocaine in their possession between March 1 and May 12, 2017 at Zeelugt, East Bank Essequibo, for the purpose of trafficking. The cocaine was reportedly stashed in lumber at a sawmill at Lookout, East Bank Essequibo, which belonged to Narine Lall, who is still wanted.
Magistrate Liverpool had, however, noted that because she will be moving to a different jurisdiction in the New Year, the date for the ruling is tentative.
