Contrary to the account given by previous state witnesses, Police Lance Corporal Dwayne McPherson yesterday said that the room in which the body of hotelier Joseph Jagdeo was found “had to be forced-open.”
McPherson was at the time testifying before Justice Sandil Kissoon and a jury, at the trial of Bryan Leitch, who has been indicted for the murder of Jagdeo, who was found at his (Jagdeo’s) South Central Hotel in 2014.
Leitch, called ‘Big Foot,’ is alleged to have murdered the man between November 13th and November 14th, 2013, at the Lot 218 South Road, Georgetown hotel. He has pleaded not guilty to the charge.
