Six years after being charged with the murder of a security guard during a robbery at Dairy Bar, Seon Yaw’s trial got underway on Tuesday with the empanelling of a jury in the High Court.

The indictment against Yaw reads that between December 5 and 6 of 2004 in Demerara he murdered Noel Jones.

Reports then had said that Jones was a security guard on duty at the Original Dairy Bar on Croal Street when three armed bandits stormed the fast food establishment and robbed it of $132,000. The 73-year-old died from a single gunshot wound to his upper chest after being forced into a toilet.
