The prosecutor was unable to provide police statements to defence counsel representing Swiss House boss Farouk Razac and his wife Carolan Lynch and so the arms trial case was put off until Monday.
The trial of Razac and his wife began on Thursday before Magistrate Gordon Gilhuys at the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court and was supposed to have continued yesterday. Police prosecutor Robert Tyndall was to serve additional statements but he did not. On Thursday Defence Counsel Nigel Hughes stopped Police Inspector Dexter Thornton from continuing his testimony saying that they did not have statements for that part of the evidence being given.
The prosecutor also said he had no additional statement. Tyndall then made an application for leave to file additional statements. The prosecutor was supposed to have presented statements yesterday but failed to do so.
Magistrate Gilhuys told the prosecutor that he was given an opportunity by the defence to serve the statements and he did not do so.
Razac and Lynch are on trial for unlawfully having in their possession four 9 mm magazines, one Beretta automatic pistol and 120 rounds of 9 mm ammunition at their Ireng Place, Bel Air home on November 10 last year.
The charges were first read indictably but were later taken summarily.
They will return to court on Monday.
