Non Pariel murder trial voir dire is continuing

THE  Non Pariel murder trial voir dire  (a trial within a trial) of  Kennise Glasgow called ‘Zachey’ or ‘Juma’ and Dexter Headley called ‘Mas’ for the murder of Davechand Appanna, is continuing before Justice Winston Patterson. The Judge is conducting the voir dire to determine the  admissibility of two alleged  confession statements.
The voir dire  was sparked off after the defence lawyers complained  that the statements were not  obtained in accordance with the judges’ rules .  Witnesses who have already testified at the voir dire are  Sgt. Paul Wintz of Plaisance Police Station, and Sgt. Chabrenauth Singh of Vigilance Police Station.
At the request of defence counsel Mr. Basil Williams and Mr. Maxwell  Mc Kay, the witnesses  are expected to  produce for inspections, certain documents including the Station Diary, Occurrence Book, and Property  book for June 2006.
Prosecuting in the matter are  Ms. Techana  James-Lake and Miss Zamilla Ali.
Notably  in court yesterday was Mr. Justice Stanley Moore, a Guyanese,  who is home on holiday.
The hearing continues  today.
