Defence threatens to move constitutional motion Section 144:1

THE preliminary inquiry (PI) into the death of Caracas resident Errol Lindo called “Son Son,” who was fatally shot during a house demolition on April 16, 2014, continued before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus with the testimonies of three witnesses.Prosecution witnesses Travis Crandon and Cassandra Arthur were cross-examined by Attorneys-at-law Nigel Hughes and Horation Edmondson.
However, the battery of lawyers which included Mortimer Coddette, declined to question police witness, Detective Ryan Caesar, through whom the post-mortem report was tendered.
Nevertheless, Codette brought to the court’s attention that come October 16, it will be six months since the defendant has been in custody. Clearly  then, if the remaining eight witnesses are not available by October 20 he will move a constitutional  motion based on Section 144:1  of the Constitution of Guyana.
Consequently, the court has availed October 16 and 20 for the continuance of the matter.
Facing the capital offence of murder is New Amsterdam businessman Charles Henry, called Bristol, of Lad Lane, New Amsterdam, who allegedly fatally shot the squatter during the Christian-celebrated Holy Week.
