Bartica massacre accused Mark Royden Williams yesterday told Justice Roxane George SC and the jury hearing his trial that he is innocent of the charges levelled against him.
“I was not there at Bartica. I’m innocent,” he stated after being called upon to lead his defence and opting to do so in unsworn testimony from the prisoners’ dock.
The accused, called “Smallie,” along with Dennis Williams, called “Anaconda” and Roger Simon, called “Goat Man,” is charged with murdering 12 men, including three police officers in the 2008 Bartica massacre.
