Neville Forde, one of two men charged with the 2017 murder of Sophia bread vendor Andre Melroy Alexander, yesterday learned that he will have to face a retrial after a 12-member jury failed to arrive at a unanimous verdict at the conclusion of his trial.
After a little more than two hours of deliberation following the summation of evidence in the trial by Justice Navindra Singh at the High Court in Georgetown, the jury returned deadlocked, 11 to 1 in favour of guilty.
Forde was then informed by Justice Singh that a new trial would have to be held.
