JUSTICE James Bovell-Drakes will on Monday, November 18, deliver his ruling on defence no-case submissions in relation to murder accused Khemraj Bhoodoo, called ‘Shamy’.

At the close of the prosecution’s case by State Counsel Miss Natasha Backer, Defence Counsel Mr. Keavon Bess relied on a no-case submission, alleging among other things that the State had not made out a case against the accused, and his client should be freed at that stage.
This sparked off a voir dire ( a trial within a trial) in the absence of the jury, which was conducted by the trial judge.
Backer is objecting to the defence submissions.
The accused is charged with having on the 5th day of July 2005 in the county of Demerara, murdered Litendra Roopnarine, called ‘Boyo’.
The judge will deliver his ruling at 10:30am on Monday.
