Collis Collinson freed of murder through no-case submission

JUSTICE Dawn Gregory on Thursday accepted a no-case submission on behalf of murder accused Collis Collinson, that the prosecution had failed to make out a case against him for the murder of Albert Joseph of Linden.

Defence counsel Mr. Peter Hugh had made the submission at the completion of the prosecution’s case.
Prosecutrix Miss Natasha Backer had in association with Miss M. Thompson, called eight witnesses in support of the prosecution’s case.
Among the witnesses, the eye witness, the daughter of the deceased, testified that at an identification parade she had identified the accused as the killer in the felony murder between the 3rd and 7th days of January, 2011.
But at the close of the prosecution’s case Mr. Hugh in his submission convinced the judge that the identification was faulty. The submission was accepted.
The accused was later discharged by the judge.
