‘Picture Boy’ murder trial… : Victoria murder accused might have used two guns : – ballistics expert

CYON Collier called “Picture Boy” might have used two guns to kill the two brothers for whose murder he is on trial, police firearms, ammunition and ballistics expert, Sergeant Eon Jackson said yesterday.
The witness, under cross-examination, said he came to that conclusion after admitting that a .32 shotgun bullet, which was found in one of the bodies during an autopsy, had not been fired by the AK-47 that was in possession of the accused.
The two brothers, Ray Walcott called ‘Sugar’ and Carl Andrews alias ‘Alo’ were gunned down at Victoria Village, East Coast of Demerara on September 23, 2006.
Justice Navindra Singh and the Demerara Assizes jury had previously heard that, on that day, the accused, with a gun strung over his shoulder in Hollywood style, rode a motorcycle to Victoria Four Corner, where he chatted with persons watching a domino game, before gunning down the brothers who were also spectators.
After the shooting, police arrested Collier in a house with three guns in his possession.
Witnesses said spent shells were found at the scene of the shooting and Jackson, after examining them, reported that they matched and were fired by an AK-47.
However, cross-examined by defence counsel, Lyndon Amsterdam, Jackson said, on examination of a .32 shotgun bullet taken from one of the bodies during an autopsy, proved that the particular one was not fired by the AK-47 but another type of shotgun.
The trial is continuing.
