AFTER many hours of deliberation, a 12-member jury on Thursday found Delon Henry called “Nasty Man” guilty of the September 29, 2015 murder of Dexter Griffith at ‘Warlock,’ East Ruimveldt.

This was after the jury returned to the courtroom for further directions and returned hours later with the unanimous guilty verdict.

After the announcement, defence attorney, Adrian Thompson, who was not in court but was represented by attorney John Linder, requested that a probation report be prepared for the accused who was remanded to prison.

The probation report followed by sentencing would take place on July 5, 2018 at 3 p.m. before Justice Sandil Kissoon.

In a packed courtroom on Thursday afternoon there were smiles of joy as well as tears as relatives of both Henry and the deceased were present for the verdict.

When asked if he had anything to say, Henry said that he was locked up for the alleged murder he did not commit and the police placed evidence against him stating that his picture was leaked by cops and the ‘system’ was so designed to pin the murder on him.

He told the court that the star witness, brother of the deceased Keshawn Griffith doesn’t know him and common sense would prevail since he did not know the area ‘Warlock’ having being in prison from age 14 to 23 years old, he doesn’t know town.

Henry said, “I gon wear all ova white and go and shoot somebody. I spent nine months in jail and I did not shoot anybody.”

A post mortem report presented by Dr. Nehaul Singh said Griffith died from shock and haemorrhage due to multiple gunshot wounds.

Griffith was shot six times to the body and was left for dead in a gutter he fell into after receiving injuries.

Henry was on trial for the September 29, 2015 murder of Dexter Griffith at ‘Warlock,’ East Ruimveldt.

The accused pleaded not guilty and is being represented by defence attorney Adrian Thompson while the state is led by Lisa Cave and Orinthia Schmidt.

In presenting the state’s case, Lisa Cave told the court that on the day in question the accused shot and murdered the deceased Dexter Griffith at ‘Warlock’ area.
