Curt Thomas is likely to know his fate tomorrow after a jury deliberates on the case against him for the alleged murder of Parika fuel dealer Seeram Singh.
The state is likely to call its final witness today which will bring its case to a close. Thereafter, both sides—the defence and prosecution are scheduled to make closing addresses to the jury.
Trial judge Justice Navindra Singh will then make his summation of the case to the jury tomorrow.
A power outage and technical difficulties at the Lusignan Prison, from where the accused joined the proceedings virtually, interrupted the trial yesterday which eventually had to be adjourned.
Testifying yesterday was Rajmohan Autar who said he saw the accused shoot Singh.
His cross-examination by defence attorney Lyndon Amsterdam had to be halted because of internet connectivity difficulties.
His cross-examination will continue when the matter resumes this morning.
Also taking the stand was Pathologist Dr. Nehaul Singh who gave the cause of death as multiple gunshot injuries.
Singh was shot and killed during a robbery on the night of Saturday April 30th, 2016 at Parika Out-fall, East Bank Essequibo.
Thomas has been indicted for the capital offence before the High Court in Georgetown. He has denied the charge.
The state’s case is being presented by Prosecutor Tuanna Hardy.
