As jury trials continued yesterday for a third day at the High Court in Georgetown after a hiatus since March over the coronavirus, Allan Sim was arraigned for the murder of Georgetown Public Hospital ambulance dispatcher Melissa Skeete.
He faced the jury yesterday charged with the capital offence which alleges that on November 23rd, 2015, at Carmichael Street, Georgetown, he murdered Skeete, with whom he once shared a relationship. From the Lusignan Prison where he attended the hearing virtually, Sim pleaded not guilty to the charge for which he is on trial before Justice Navindra Singh.
Among those who testified yesterday was Detective Sergeant Hamlet Da Silva who told the court the Sim had been placed on an identification (ID) parade at which he was picked out by a witness.
