Joseph Jagdeo

Murder accused Brian Leitch, according to the police, said that the killing of hotel owner Joseph Jagdeo was unintentional and that he was sorry for it.

Leitch, also known as ‘Big Foot,’ is on trial before Justice Sandil Kissoon and a jury for the murder of Jagdeo, who was found bound and gagged under a bed in one of the hotel rooms.

The charge against him states that he murdered Jagdeo between November 13th and November 14th, 2013, at a Lot 218 South Road, Georgetown hotel. He has denied the indictment.

Testifying yesterday was Detective Sergeant Keith Conway, who said he was present when the accused made the statement to then police officer Phillip Bowman.
