THE preliminary inquiry (PI) into the death of taxi driver Trevor Kissoon began before Magistrate Adela Nagamootoo on Thursday in the New Amsterdam Court.

In the dock, Stephen Campbell of Lot 5 Number Seven Village, East Coast Berbice is accused of unlawfully killing Kissoon between June 9 and 10, 2010.
The body of the  27-year-old driver, who had been attached to the J&N Taxi Service, was pulled out of a weed-infested waterway at Number Seven Village, East Coast Berbice shortly before midday on June 10, 2010, mere hours after he had been dispatched to East Canje to pick up customers.
The body of Trevor Kissoon remained clad in the orange jersey and pair of faded blue jeans in which he had been attired when he had left his Alexander Street home in New Amsterdam, Berbice. His remains had borne marks of violence to the head and face.
Testifying at the hearing were Elizabeth Samaroo and Jennifer Burrowes.
Defence Counsel is Mursalene Bacchus.
