– in ‘Miss Rose’ murder case

JUSTICE William Ramlal recently freed murder accused Kwabena Barker, called ‘Alex’, because of a no-case submission against an indictment that, between January 30 and March 13, 2008, in Demerara, he murdered Roseanne Pearl Hall, called Miss Rose.At the close of the prosecution’s case, Defence Counsel Mr. Charles Ramson, Jr. made a no-case submission to the effect that the prosecution had failed to establish a case against the accused for the offence charged, and the attorney called upon the judge to discharge the accused at that stage without calling on him for a defence.

The judge accepted the submission and freed the accused.

Miss Dhanika Singh of the DPP Chambers had been prosecutor in the matter.
