One of the two men on trial for the 2016 murder of Laing Avenue taxi driver Orin David was acquitted yesterday after his attorney successfully presented a no-case submission.
Justice Sandil Kissoon moments later informed a visibly relieved Howard Rambarose that the state had failed to establish a prima facie case against him, and that he was resultantly discharged of the offence.
Upon the instructions of the trial judge, the jury was then directed to return a formal verdict of not guilty, thereby freeing Rambarose of the capital charge.
