`Mango Man’ trial aborted after accused demands new lawyer

The trial of the trio accused of the murder of Kumar Singh known as “Mango Man” in 2007 was aborted today in the High Court by Justice Navindra Singh after the number three accused demanded a new lawyer and his state-assigned counsel subsequently withdrew.

Murder accused Sherwin Nero known as Sherwin Moses called ‘Catty’, Andrew Philander called ‘Junior’ and ‘Gadget’ and Mark Williams known as Royden Durant called ‘Smallie’ were remanded to prison to await another trial.
