Hamid Latiff, called ‘Crapo,’ yesterday walked out of court a free man after a jury found him not guilty of murdering 16-year-old Mulchand Murilall.
After deliberating for about three hours, the jury emerged with its verdict, unanimously finding Latiff not guilty of the charge that on November 12, 2013, at Cane Grove, East Bank Demerara, he murdered Murilall.
The jury also unanimously found the former accused not guilty on the lesser count of manslaughter, upon which Justice Jo-Ann Barlow had also given directions.
