`Two Colours’ seeking permanent stay of charge of murdering hairdresser

Murder accused Lennox Wayne called ‘Two Colours,’ who is currently on remand for the 2014 murder of Lusignan beautician Ashmini Harriram, is pleading with the High Court to grant him bail while it considers his application for the capital charge against him to be stayed, arguing that his right to a fair and timely hearing has been violated.

In 2017, Wayne and his co-accused Melroy Doris had faced trial for the young woman’s murder, but a jury was hung, thus resulting in the need for a new trial.

In a Fixed Date Application (FDA), however, Wayne says that while his case has repeatedly been listened in successive assizes since then, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has failed to commence any new trial.
