THE Preliminary Inquiry into the death of Caracas resident Errol Lindo, called ‘Son Son’, who was fatally shot during a land dispute on April 16, 2014, commenced before New Amsterdam Magistrate Sherdel Isaacs Marcus with the testimonies of two witnesses.
Prosecution eyewitnesses Travis Crandon and Roger Rose were led in their evidence-in-chief by Police Prosecutor Sergeant Godfrey Playter.
However, the men are expected to return to court on September 9 when they are expected to be cross- examined by Defence Counsel Mortimer Codette.
Facing the capital offence of murder is businessman Charles Henry, called Bristol, of Lad Lane, New Amsterdam who is alleged to have fatally shot the ‘squatter’ during the Christian Holy Week.
An autopsy report had revealed that Lindo succumbed to multiple gunshot injuries which resulted in shock and haemorrhage.
The findings were made following a post-mortem examination by Dr Vivikanand Brijmohan at the New Amsterdam Hospital.
Reports revealed that Lindo, age 51, sustained gunshot injuries to the left side of his body,, another to his foot, a non-penetrative wound to his abdomen, and another in the vicinity of his lower neck.
The fatal incident occurred after the accused was seen demolishing the home of the father of four.
