A mixed jury was sworn before Justice Brassingtion Reynolds yesterday, for the trial of an alleged wife killer Eric Sookshine, who pleaded not guilty to the capital offence of murder.
The remanded prisoner faces a second trial having had the previous one aborted due to persons connected to him approaching members of the jury in November last.
Sookshine is indicted with murder, allegedly committed on his wife, Jashorda, who was found motionless on her kitchen floor with her clothing bloodied on June 5, 2005.
A cutlass, believed to be the murder weapon, was found by her body.
Government Pathologist Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan , who examined the body,  recorded the cause of death as shock and haemorrhage, along with stab wounds to the heart.
The Prosecution, led by State Counsel Dionne Mc Cammon, is expected to present its witnesses on Friday, while Senior Counsel Marcel Crawford, is for the accused.
