AFTER two hours of deliberations, the jury was unable to arrive at a verdict in the trial of Kevin Mohan, called “Chucky,” who is accused of killing his aunt in 2016.
On Tuesday, the 12-member jury could not arrive at a verdict even after further direction was given by Justice Navindra Singh at the Demerara High Court.
Given this development, Mohan will remain incarcerated until he is retried at the next practical sitting of the Demerara Assizes.
Mohan, 27, formerly of Fifth Street, Cummings Lodge, had pleaded not guilty to the charge which alleged that on September 4, 2016, at Cummings Lodge, he murdered 48-year-old Anita Mohan.

The state was represented by prosecutor Tiffani Lyken, while Ravindra Mohabir is Mohan’s attorney.
The woman’s battered body was found on the floor of her kitchen at Fifth Street, Cummings Lodge, where she lived with Mohan and her son, Intiaz Khan. Khan had found his mother lying in blood with her head bashed in and a stab wound to her chest.
A bloody ‘rolling pin,’ suspected to be one of the murder weapons, was found in close proximity, as well as a broken beer bottle. The police had noted that Mohan confessed to the murder, while admitting that another person acted as his accomplice.
A post-mortem performed on the remains of the woman revealed that she died from multiple injuries.
