Almost two weeks after attorneys representing Troy Thomas, who is wanted for murder in the United States, argued that the magistracy has no jurisdiction to hear the extradition proceedings initiated against him, they moved to the High Court in a bid to block his extradition.
Thomas, of South Ozone Park, Queens, New York, USA, who allegedly murdered Keith Frank on December 11th, 2011, was recently apprehended by ranks of the Guyana Police Force at Liliendaal, East Coast Demerara.
Attorneys Nigel Hughes, Bernard Da Silva and Darren Wade, who represent Thomas, moved to the High Court last Friday, where, among other things, they have argued that Thomas as a Guyanese citizen is entitled to the protections of the provisions of the Constitution.
