The prosecution wrapped up its case in the Cyon ‘Picture Boy’ Collier murder trial before Justice Diana Insanally at the High Court on Tuesday.
State Prosecutor Judith Gildharie-Mursalin made closing arguments to the court, a day after defence attorney Lyndon Amsterdam made his closing arguments.
Justice Insanally is expected to sum up the evidence presented during the trial today, after which the case will be given to the jury for deliberation. Collier denied that he killed Ray Walcott, called ‘Sugar’ and the man’s younger brother, Carl Andrews, called ‘Alo’, on September 23, 2006 at Victoria, East Coast Demerara.
However, in his caution statement given to the police, which was admitted as evidence in the trial, he stated that he had indeed shot the two men after he had given one of them an AK-47 gun to keep that was never returned to him. He later denied giving this statement, in an unsworn statement during the trial.
