Courtney Crum-Ewing

The trial of Regan Rodri-gues called ‘Grey Boy,’ for the 2015 murder of political activist Courtney Crum-Ewing commenced yesterday morning before Justice Sandil Kissoon and a jury at the High Court in Georgetown.

The indictment against Rodrigues, to which he has pleaded not guilty, is that on March 10th, 2015, he murdered Crum-Ewing at Third Avenue Diamond Housing Scheme, East Bank Demerara.

In her opening address to the jury, Prosecutor Tyra Bakker noted that the state intends to prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt, that it is Rodrigues who inflicted the fatal injuries on Crum-Ewing, with the intention to kill or cause him serious bodily harm.
