At the trial of Jahryl Reid, who is accused of murdering Mabura businessman Colin McLean, witness Oscar Hector yesterday recalled being overcome with emotions after discovering his friend’s lifeless body.
Reid is on trial for the capital offence before Justice Jo-Ann Barlow and a 12-member jury for the April 27, 2014, murder of McLean, 52, at Mabura, Upper Demerara River.
Hector told the court that he and McLean had been friends for about three years and lived a stone’s throw away from each other. He said that they saw each other frequently sometimes twice a week.
