Ten witnesses are expected to testify against Christopher Garraway and Randy Chester, the duo who were charged with drug trafficking last month.
Garraway and Chester were separately charged for the offence after they were intercepted by the Customs Anti-Narcotic Unit while on their way to Berbice. The truck they were driving was searched and the narcotics were found.
The charge stated that on January 16, 2020, at John Fernandes Limited, Mandela Avenue, West Ruimveldt, they had in their possession 22 kg of cannabis and 2.740 kg of cocaine for the purpose of trafficking. Both men pleaded not guilty to the charge and were remanded to prison until January 29.
During yesterday’s hearing before the Chief Magistrate Ann McLennan in the Georgetown Magistrate’s Court One, CANU prosecutor Narissa Leander said that the duo will be tried together and informed the court that all the statements were disclosed. She added that they have ten witnesses who will be testifying during the trial.
After being asked by the Chief Magistrate if all the evidence in relation to the matter was disclosed, Leander said that all with the exception of several photographs and video footage. The chief magistrate then ordered her to disclose all the evidence to the defence.
