AS the case between the State and Delon Henry called “Nasty Man” gains momentum in the Georgetown High Court before Justice Sandil Kissoon and a 12-member jury, the brother of the deceased testified on Thursday.

The witness, Keshawn Griffith, told the court that he had seen both men who shot and killed his sibling on the day in question, but could recognise only one of them, based on his face structure.

That man, he said he saw at the scene shooting at his brother, he pointed out to be that accused, Delon Henry, who was seated in the box on Thursday.

Griffith told a packed courtroom that in October 2015 at about 09:30hrs he went to work and while reading the newspaper, he saw the headline of the Guyana Chronicle which had three photos and he recognised one of them as the shooter.

He said that man was the accused, who was one of two men who were at the crime scene and had shot and killed his brother, Dexter Griffith back in 2015 at ‘Warlock’.

Griffith said he then contacted the police and was invited to Eve Leary Police headquarters, where he participated in an identification parade.

There he pointed out the #10 man as the shooter, one of whom gunned down his sibling and that man he identified as the accused.

Recalling what had transpired on September 28, 2015, he said he went to where his brother was sitting at the alleyway to run an errand for him and on his way back he observed a man.

He stated that that man seemed out of place and was nervous, he kept folding an unfolding his hands and was dressed in dark clothing and was slim and tall.

Griffith related that the man kept staring at his brother Dexter, which was the day before the alleged murder.

The witness added on the day in question, September 29, 2015 he returned home from work and his brother, the deceased send him to buy food from a shop which was about 5:30pm to 6pm.

He said he was returning from the shop when he heard what sounded like gunshots and he took cover in a nearby yard.

There, he noticed a man who was fair-skinned and tall trying to put something in a black haversack, while another man was standing nearby shooting at his sibling after which they escaped through the alleyway.

He then went home to tell the others what he had seen and they took the mortally wounded Griffith from the gutter and placed him in a car, after which he was transported to the GPHC, where he was pronounced dead on arrival.

Several other witnesses testified including the children’s mother of the deceased, Allison Weeks, who told the court that she saw both of the gunmen who killed her loved one on the day in question.

She described one of the shooter as a thin-boned, tall man who was standing a feet away from Dexter’s body.
