Festival City murder trial ends with hung jury

MURDER accused Charles Anthony Woolford, charged with the February 8, 2009 murder of his wife Latoya Woolford at Festival City, will have to face a new trial, because the mixed jury that tried him for the offence before Justice James Bovell-Drakes returned with a verdict of disagreement last week.

Justice Bovell-Drakes consequently discharged the jury, and ordered that the accused face a re-trial at another Criminal Session of the Demerara Assizes.
Woolford was therefore remanded to prison to await his retrial.
