A date was yesterday set for a ruling in the matter against Brian Mohan, who was charged with the murder of Festival City resident Christopher Wharton, who was shot execution-style while sitting on the stairs of his home.

It is alleged that Mohan aka ‘Abdool,’ murdered Wharton, also known as ‘Taps,’ on November 18th, 2015.

During the continuation of the Preliminary Inquiry, which is being held before Magistrate Leron Daly, attorney Stanley Moore, made submissions on behalf of his client.

According to the attorney the prosecution failed to prove the charge levelled against his client.

The matter was later adjourned until August 20 when a ruling is expected to be made as to whether or not a prima facie case has been made out against Mohan.

It was previously reported that Wharton was shot-execution style on the stairs of his North Ruimveldt home in what police believed to be a drug-related crime.
