McDoom fowl fight murder case ends today –eleven witnesses testified

JUSTICE Navindra Singh, the trial judge in the Mc Doom fowl fight murder trial, is expected to sum up the case to the jury today.

Thereafter, he will hand the case to them for their consideration and verdict.
Prosecutrix Mrs. Judith Mursalin closed her case yesterday following the testimony of 11 witnesses.
Defence Counsel, Mr. Peter Hugh and the prosecutrix addressed the jury yesterday afternoon.
During the trial the jury heard that following an argument over a fowl fight, Abiola Eadie was shot in the head and a metal object that caused death was recovered in the brain stem.
Government Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh, who performed the autopsy on the body of Abiola Eadie, disclosed this to the jury.
And witnesses stated that the ‘deformed’ bullet was handed over to the police for examination by the analyst department.
Mark Assing, called “Jessie”, is charged with having between the 19th June, 2012 and 3rd July, 2012, murdered Abiola Eadie called “Abbie”.
The pathologist report showed that Abbie died from gunshot injuries to the head. At the time of her death she was 38.
Witnesses said that the killing followed an argument between the accused and others when he was criticizing persons for using his fowl to fight, causing his pet to become blind.
The accused, it is said, had opened fire during the argument, inflicting the injury to Abbie who subsequently died.
The Prosecutrix told the jury that “If after hearing all of the evidence in this case, you are left in doubt or you are unsure of his guilt, then it is your duty to find him not guilty. However, if after hearing all of the evidence, you feel sure that this accused murdered Abiola Eadie, then you must find him guilty.”
The trial is expected to conclude today.
