The murder trial of Rackeem Shaquille Alleyne and Keshawn Leroy David Greene was adjourned yesterday as a lawyer for one of the accused claimed a witness had died and another had become mentally incapacitated.
Alleyne, of Combermere Street, The City, and Greene, of Shepton Lane, The Pine, St Michael, who were in the No. 5 Supreme Court, are accused of murdering Scherno Rose on May 26, 2016.
Deputy Director of Public Prosecutions Krystal Delaney appeared for the prosecution.
Senior Counsel Andrew Pilgrim, who is out of the jurisdiction, is representing Greene, while attorney Lalu Hanuman appears for Alleyne.
Yesterday, Hanuman told the court the matter was almost ten years old; one witness has since died and another “has developed a psychiatric illness and is sleeping rough on the streets”.
