No-case submission frees murder accused

MURDER accused Eon La Cruz, who was charged with the murder of Gregory Thomas, was yesterday freed at the Bartica Magistrate’s Court on a no-case submission made by Attorney-at-law Mr. Huckumchand.

La Cruz had been charged with stabbing Thomas to death when there was no evidence to show that he had committed the crime.
All that the police could say was that Thomas died from a stab wound in October 2012, and that death was due to perforation of the heart. The evidence did not disclose who had committed the offence.
At the end of the prosecution’s case, Mr. Huckumchand submitted that there was no case for his client to answer. The magistrate agreed, and the accused was set free.
