A JURY in the “Slim” murder trial at the Demerara Assizes before Justice Navindra Singh on Thursday heard how Bibi Raffina Saymar was attacked and killed at her home on May 29, 2010.

The jury was also told that Troy Green called “Slim,” who was seen leaving the building shortly after screams from the woman had ceased, was later arrested and charged with murder.
The witness, Joseph Cummings, a neighbour of the dead woman said on that night he was attracted by screams from Amanda coming from the house.
He said that after the screams had ceased, he saw the accused descending the stairs of the building.
In answer to cross-examination by Mr. Peter Hugh for the defence, the witness admitted that he did not attend an identification parade.
Prosecutor Ms. Mercedes Thompson hopes to call eight witnesses in order to prove the state’s case.
The hearing will continue.
