AFTER spending the last five years on remand for murder, 26-year-old Keron Taylor, on Tuesday, walked out of the Demerara High Court a free man.
Taylor was on remand for the murder of Senassie Lewis, who was gunned down outside the Ghetto Flex Bar, James and Albouys Streets, on September 4, 2015.
His case was called before Justice Navindra Singh and a 12-member jury. Taylor, who was represented by Attorney-at-law Nigel Hughes pleaded not guilty to the charge.
Hughes made a no-case submission calling for the charge to be dismissed against Taylor on the grounds that the main witness, Troy Abrams, failed to remember key aspects of the incident.

Justice Singh upheld the no-case submission and directed the jury to return a formal verdict of not-guilty in Taylor’s favour.
In 2015, Taylor was jointly charged with Clive Forde called ‘El Sinkie’ for the murder of Lewis. The men were subsequently committed to stand trial at the High Court for the offence.
However, Forde was shot and killed in 2017, after he escaped from the Lusignan Prison.

Lewis was reportedly at a dance at the Ghetto Flex bar when he was shot dead by two gunmen who fled on foot and then joined a car to make good their escape.
An autopsy report revealed that Lewis was shot 15 times about his body.
