Verdict looms for accused in hotelier’s murder

Joseph Jagdeo

Bryan Leitch is likely to know his fate later this afternoon when a jury retires to deliberate on the case levelled against him by the state for the murder of hotel owner Joseph Jagdeo.

At the close of the prosecution’s case yesterday, Leitch, after being called upon to lead a defence, professed his innocence, telling the court that he knows nothing about the murder.

In unsworn testimony from the prisoner’s dock, the accused declared, “I don’t know anything about any murder.”
