Two of the three men accused of murdering West Berbice teen Isaiah Henry last September were discharged yesterday after a magistrate found that the evidence against them was insufficient.
As a result of Magistrate Peter Hugh’s decision, the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Shalimar Ali-Hack has requested the documents taken at the Preliminary Inquiry (PI) into the charge against Vinod Gopaul, called “Magga,” of Yakusari North, Black Bush Polder, Corentyne, Berbice and Anil Sancharra, called ‘Dan Pole’ and ‘Rasta,’ of D’Edward Village, West Coast Berbice, in order to decide on how to proceed.
Magistrate Hugh, who conducted the PI at the Blairmount Magistrate’s Court, agreed with the submission of defence attorney Dexter Todd, who argued that the state did not present any admissible evidence against his clients.
