Murder at Haslington: Witnesses say victim had argued with accused

The trial of Les Charles Critchlow for the 2016 murder of his brother-in-law Terrence Adams commenced yesterday morning before Justice Priya Sewnarine-Beharry and a jury at the High Court in Georgetown.

In her opening address to the jury, Prosecutor Tiffini Lyken said that on the night of May 12th, 2016 Critchlow went into Adams’ shop at Hasling-ton, East Coast Demerara and stabbed him in what she described as an “unprovoked and vicious” attack.

Testifying yesterday was brother of the deceased Leyland Nelson who recalled Adams having a conversation with the accused earlier on the day in question about money which he (Critchlow) owed to Adams.
