Three freed over fire murder of Good Hope rice farmers

Mohamed and Jamilla Munir

The three men who had been accused of the 2016 murder of Good Hope rice farmers, Mohamed and his wife Jamilla Munir, were yesterday discharged after a Court found that the prosecution had no case against them.

Following a voir dire, Justice Jo-Ann Barlow directed the jury to formally return verdicts of not guilty in favour of Shamudeen Mohamed, called ‘Milo,’ Jason Howard called ‘Smellie’ and Joel Blair.

The Court ruled that the caution statements reportedly given by the trio were inadmissible.
