MURDER accused, Christopher Singh and Davendra Bushram, called “Bird Brains” freely and voluntarily gave caution statements, according to Detective Inspector, Nolan Burnett.

Singh is also reported to have given blood-stained clothing to the police.
But Singh, who himself had injuries had said: “Me and a man had a fight and as a result of the fight, I get these injuries.”
Davendra Bushram, when replying to the caution put to him by Detective Inspector Burnett, had said: “Me nah stab nobody.”
Both accused are on trial for the murder of Javed Mohamed, who was stabbed to death on the night of September 11, 2010, at Better Hope, outside the Community Centre Ground, where there was a floodlight cricket match.

Burnett said he told Singh that he was in receipt of information that he Singh had been in a fight with Javed Mohamed and that he had inflicted injuries on him which resulted in his death. He then put the caution to him, to which Singh replied: “Me and a man had a fight and as a result of the fight, I get these injuries.”
Continuing, witness said, “Christopher Singh showed me injuries between his wrist and elbow on his left hand. I arrested Christopher Singh and escorted him to Sparendaam Police Station.”
Inspector Burnett said that at the station he asked Singh for the clothing he was wearing at the time, and Singh took him to his grandparents’ residence, where the accused produced a jersey marked “PUNTO” and a white under vest. Witness said that he checked the clothing and found what appeared to be blood stains on both of them. He took possession of the clothing and escorted the accused to the station.
