The court hearing the trial in the 2017 murder of Cayenne-based clothes vendor Purcell Moore, was told that the accused—Kelvin Persaud and Selwyn Dawson—were seen fleeing the scene after the shooting.
That was the testimony of Detective Andre Higgins when he took the stand at the commencement of the trial on Monday before Justice Sandil Kissoon at the High Court in Georgetown.
Persaud and Dawson are accused of fatally shooting Moore, who Prosecutor Lisa Cave said resisted them as they tried to rob him of his gold chain on the morning of December 20th, 2017, at Old Road, Craig.
