A 12-MEMBER jury was on Tuesday empanelled before Justice Brassington Reynolds in the Demerara High Court for the trial of Sudesh Rambhajue.
According to the state, the alternative count for the 1st count is attempt to commit murder and on the 2nd count – felonious wounding.

It is alleged that on September 18, 2015 in the county of Demerara, the accused attempted to murder Latchman Narine Persaud.

Rambhajue pleaded not guilty to both counts.

As the case was presented it had to be deferred to July 23, 2018 since the accused told the court that he could not afford an attorney.

The State was represented by Seeta Bishundial in association with Tiffini Lyken and Narissa Leander.
