Nicholas Hercules, who was on trial before Justice Sandil Kissoon for the murder of his uncle, yesterday morning walked out of the High Court in George-town a free man after the judge upheld a no-case submission made by his attorneys.
The allegation against Hercules had been that on 1st April, 2015, at Princes Street, Lodge, George-town, he murdered Carlos Solomon.
During the trial, however, attorneys Hewley Griffith and Compton Bobb, who represented Hercules, presented submissions arguing that the state had not made out a case against their client and therefore he had none to answer.
