A MIXED 12-member jury was, on Thursday, May 02, 2019, empanelled before Justice Navindra Singh, at the Demerara High Court, for the trial of Kenkassie Lynch, who allegedly shot and killed a Nelson Street, Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara resident.
Lynch, 24, formerly of Eccles, East Bank Demerara, was charged with the indictment and is currently on remand. On Thursday, Lynch denied that, on June 1, 2015, at Nelson Street, Mocha Arcadia, EBD, he murdered 23- year-old Terrence Lanferman.

He is being represented by attorney-at-law Adrian Thompson, while the state is represented by prosecutors Abigail Gibbs, Tuanna Hardy and Teriq Mohammed.
The trial commenced with a series of witnesses on Thursday and continues Today, May 3, 2019. A total of 15 witnesses are expected to testify during the duration of the trial.
According to reports, Lynch also implicated a cousin of his, Sedley Liverpool, called ‘Birdman.’ Liverpool was later charged for Lanferman’s murder and is currently awaiting trial at the High Court.

The Guyana Chronicle understands that the shooting stemmed from a feud between ‘Birdman’ and Lanferman, but Lynch reportedly admitted that he alone carried out the shooting.

On the day in question, Lynch allegedly returned to Mocha and met his cousin, after which he visited Nelson Street, located in the same community, to conduct surveillance on Lanferman’s house.

Lynch then returned to ‘Birdman’s’ house, and at around 19.00 hours, Liverpool allegedly gave him a handgun. The two headed back to Nelson Street on a ‘CG’ motorcycle.
While Liverpool waited in a nearby street, Lynch allegedly went to Lanferman’s residence and knocked on the front door.

Lanferman opened his front door to greet his visitor, only to be reportedly confronted by the gunman.
