Lurick Fiffee, who was accused of the 2018 killing of his ex-girlfriend Rosemary Rudder, was yesterday unanimously found not guilty by a jury in Justice Simone Morris-Ramlall’s court.

The verdict was delivered to Fiffee virtually and as the judge told him he was discharged and free to go Fiffee became animated but his utterances were inaudible.

This was the second trial he faced as in November of last year the first was aborted in the same court after one of the jurors realized that he is related to one of the witnesses called by the prosecution.

Fiffee was charged with murdering Rudder between March 30th and 31st of 2018; an allegation he denied.

Rudder, 32, formerly of Old Road, Eccles, East Bank Demerara, was found dead after reportedly being involved in a heated argument with Fiffee.

The results of an autopsy stated that she died from compression to the neck consistent with choking and blunt trauma to the head.
