THE judge and jury in the Soesdyke/Linden Highway murder case heard, on Thursday, about a rum spree that ended in killing.
Prosecutor Renita Singh, in association with other State Counsel Diana Kaulesar, said, on January 10, 2008, the victim, Ganesh Singh was drinking with another person on a farm at Long Creek. Singh said they offered the accused, Robert Abrahim called ‘Rabbert Abrahim’ a drink and he refused but, shortly after, he took a few drinks with them.
She said Ganesh Singh picked up a cutlass and lashed the accused on his head and his hand. The accused then rushed to a room where he kept his cutlass, came out with the weapon and pushed it towards the victim, causing him to receive an injury to his face. He was, subsequently, taken to hospital where he died.
The Prosecutor said witnesses will also say that a post mortem was conducted on the body of the deceased by Dr. Nehaul Singh and the cause of death was given as hypovolemic shock as a result of sharp force injury to the face, resulting in bone fracture compounded by bronchoaspiration.
The prosecutor told the jurors not to be concerned about the technical words, pointing out that the pathologist would come and explain his findings when the trial continues before Justice Dawn Gregory.
