Dr Esan Reid on Tuesday testified before Justice Navindra Singh, prior to commencement of the voir dire to determine the admissibility of evidence in the “Turning Point” murder trial.

On trial are Edward Skeete called “Pretty Boy” and Nabadingi Gobin called “Dangles” for the alleged July 14, 2015 murder of Ryan Clementson at Turning Point, Tucville, Georgetown.

An expert in emergency medicine, having served nine years at the Guyana Public Hospital Corporation (GPHC) Accident and Emergency Unit, Dr Reid recalled when he examined the injured Ryan Clementson he saw an incised wound with fragmented edges on the right thigh.

The doctor added that there was no exit wound and he did not recall seeing any foreign object lodged.

Dr. Reid under cross-examination by defence counsel Nigel Hughes told the court that he did not retrieve any warhead from the wound and cannot recall seeing any bullet on the x-ray.

When questioned by defence counsel Mark Waldron, the doctor said the wound was not life-threatening but the patient needed medical intervention.

Skeete is being represented by Nigel Hughes while Gobin is represented by Mark Waldron in association with Keoma Griffith.

Leading the State’s case is Narissa Leander in association with Tiffini Lyken and Abigail Gibbs.

During her opening address, state prosecutor Narissa Leander told the court that on July 14, 2015, the deceased Ryan Clementson was shot and he was taken to GPHC where he succumbed to his injuries.

She stated that there was a police investigation and the two accused were charged for the offence.

It is alleged that Clementson of Mocha, East Bank Demerara was on the bridge at Turning Point, when a man rode up on a motor cycle and discharged several rounds in his direction and escaped.

Clementson was shot to his right leg while Adoyele Solomon, 32, of Tucville, who was in the vicinity, was hit to his right shoulder. Clementson subsequently died.
