JUSTICE Diana Insanally, the trial judge in the Cyon Collier called ‘Picture Boy’ double murder trial yesterday overruled defence no-case submissions and called on the accused for a defence. Defence lawyer Mr. Lyndon Amsterdam is said to have been unprepared to begin and was granted leave until today to do so.
Leading Prosecutor Mrs. Judith Gildharie-Mursalin had replied to the defence submissions on the resumption yesterday.
After hearing the prosecution, the judge overruled the defence no-case submissions.
According to the prosecution witnesses, sometime during the early hours of the morning of September 23, 2006 a group of young men were playing dominoes at the Victoria Four Corner on the East Coast of Demerara.  Two brothers, Ray Walcott called ‘Sugar and his younger brother Carl Andrews called ‘Alo’ were standing nearby watching the game.

The accused, Cyon Collier called ‘Picture Boy’ is said to have  ridden up  on a motorcycle , dressed in black clothing, with a gun slung across  his back  and began  gaffing  with the men.  He then began cranking that gun and started shooting.
It is said everyone scattered, running off in different directions. Witnesses say that when the shooting stopped, the two  brothers were found with what appeared to be  bullet holes  in their bodies.  Sugar was lying on the road and Alo was found in a  nearby yard. They were taken to to the Georgetown  Hospital,  where they were  pronounced dead.
When the hearing  resumes today at the Demerara Assizes,  the defence is expected to tell its story to the jury.
