The trial of murder accused Odinga Green continued in the High Court on Friday, after an earlier delay due to the illness of one of the jurors.
Green, who is represented by attorney Nigel Hughes, is accused of murdering Nasleen Mohamed, who was 20-years old, between February 2 and 12, 2007.
Mohamed, called “Mama,” was living with her extended family at the East Ruimveldt Squatting Area at the time of the incident.
The prosecution, which is represented by, Judith Gildharie-Mursalin and Diana Kowlessar, is arguing that on February 2, 2007, Mohamed was at her mother’s home when the accused arrived and then left with her and another friend. Mohamed was never seen or heard from after that day.
She was then reported missing by her relatives for over two weeks. Her body was later found in a coal pit at the back of the Wisroc Housing Scheme, in Linden. She was clad in a t-shirt and blue denim short pants. A belt was wrapped around her neck while her feet were bound.
Green allegedly left the country for Suriname after the incident, but was later apprehended by Surinamese authorities and handed over to police in Guyana in 2008.
Two of the prosecution witnesses were cross examined by Hughes on Friday.
The case will continue on Monday.
