After facing his second trial, Neville Forde was on Tuesday freed of the 2017 murder of Sophia bread vendor Andre Melroy Alexander, after his unanimous acquittal by a 12-member jury.
Following hours of deliberations, the panel returned with its verdict, finding Forde not guilty of the capital charge, which had stated that he murdered Alexander on May 5th, 2017, during a robbery.
The trial was conducted by Justice Jo-Ann Barlow at the High Court in Demerara.
