Accused Balram Singh yesterday denied killing taxi driver Bhomeshwar Sukhdeo or having anything to do with his death.
“I sorry for the people who family died but to be honest with this court hay, me ain’t kill nobody, me ain’t know ’bout no murder,” Singh told Justice Navindra Singh and a 12-member jury at the High Court, in Georgetown.
The charge against him is that between January 19 and January 27, 2010, he murdered Sukhdeo.
Opting to lead his defence in unsworn testimony from the prisoner’s dock, the accused, who said that he can neither read nor write, told the court that he signed a document prepared by the police after they told him that he would go home once he signed it.
His story is that Detective Sergeant Nigel Stephens had a page quarter-filled with writing on which he was told to sign at the bottom.
