Accused maintains innocence in Parika fuel dealer’s murder

Leading his defence at his trial, Curt Thomas yesterday proclaimed his innocence in the murder of Parika fuel dealer Seeram Singh.

In an unsworn statement at the High Court yesterday morning, Thomas said he was never at or near the scene of the murder and that he did not know Singh.

According to the accused, his girlfriend and one of the primary investigators, whom he identified as “Officer Bowman,” once shared a relationship and he believed that to be the reason he was charged with the crime.
