Jahryl Reid yesterday walked out of court a free man after a jury found him not guilty of murdering Mabura businessman Colin McLean.
After about two hours of deliberations, the 12-member jury returned unanimous verdicts of not guilty on the counts of murder and manslaughter, on which it was given directions by the trial judge, Justice Jo-ann Barlow.
The charge against Reid, 22, was that on April 27, 2014, he murdered McLean, 52, at Mabura, Upper Demerara River.
