A doctor will tomorrow report on whether murder accused Sherwin Anthony Hyle is fit to stand trial in the High Court.
Although a jury has been empanelled to hear the trial, when the matter is called tomorrow before Justice Dawn Gregory, the doctor will be reading his report on Hyle’s mental state.
The allegation against Hyle is that on May 1, 2008, at Friendship, East Bank Demerara, he murdered Joel Savory
Savory, a father of three and a minibus driver who was 41-years-old at the time, was fatally stabbed a short distance from his Lot 37 Friendship, East Bank Demerara home. The act was allegedly committed by Hyle, who was said to be of unsound mind.
A release from the police had stated that Savory was walking along the street when “he was confronted by Hyle who is reportedly of unsound mind” and there was an exchange of words, during which Savory was stabbed in the neck with a broken bottle.
The injured man was taken to the Diamond Diagnostic Centre, where he died while receiving medical attention.
Hyle was subsequently charged just under a week later.
