Gov’t Forensic Pathologist testifies in ‘Picture Boy’ murder trial

FORENSIC Pathologist, Dr. Nehaul Singh yesterday used a Supreme Court marshal to demonstrate to the jury of the Demerara Assizes, the locations of the wounds on murder victims Ray Walcott called ‘Sugar’ and Carl Andrews called ‘Alo’.The pathologist was testifying at the murder trial of Cyon Collier, called ‘Picture Boy’, who is indicted with the double murder of Walcott and Andrews who were gunned down at Victoria Village, East Coast, Demerara, on the morning of September 23, 2006.
The pathologist who had performed autopsies on both bodies said that on the examination of ‘Sugar’ he found seven gunshot wounds from front to back and left to right.
He gave the cause of death of ‘Sugar’ as multiple gunshot injuries and death, he said, would have been caused instantaneously.
‘Alo’, he said, received three bullet wounds, one on the forehead and two which were grazing wounds.
‘Alo’, the pathologist said died as a result of perforation of the lung due to gunshot injuries. He would have died within 20 minutes. Dr. Singh also said that he recovered a bullet from the body which he handed over to the police.
Also giving evidence yesterday about his analytical examination of the weapons found in possession of the accused was Sergeant Eon Jackson, Police firearm and ammunition expert.
Attorney-at-Law, Mr. Lyndon Amsterdam, is defending ‘Picture Boy’ while Senior State Counsel Mrs. Judith Gildharie-Mursalin is prosecuting.
The hearing is continuing.
