One freed of 2013 Mash Day murder charge, another for third trial

Following the conclusion of a retrial which was ordered by the Court of Appeal earlier this year, Randy Isaac was yesterday unanimously acquitted on charges of both murder and manslaughter for the 2013 Mashramani Day killing of Kumar Mohabir.

Devon Thomas who had been charged along with him, however, now faces a third trial, after the jury was unable to arrive at a verdict regarding his culpability for the killing of the businessman formerly of Enterprise, East Coast Demerara, who was stabbed several times.

The jury was hung in the proportion of 10 to 2 on the capital charge against Thomas.
