Magistrate Fabayo Azore is expected to rule next Friday in the Preliminary Inquiry into the charge against two of the three men accused of the 2017 murder of businessman Godfrey Scipio.
The charge against former Detective Corporal Derwin Eastman and Constable Jamenson Williams states that on October 12th, 2017, at Stanley Place and David Street, Kitty, they murdered Scipio, a well-known businessman, in the course or furtherance of a robbery. Another man, Aubrey Bobb, was also charged with the October 12, 2017 murder. He is currently awaiting trial at the High Court for the crime.
Scipio, of Lot ‘ZZ’ 22 D’Urban Street, Wortmanville, Georgetown, was shot once in his abdomen during the fatal attack at Stanley Place, Kitty. He succumbed to his injuries while receiving medical attention at the Woodlands Hospital. A lone gunman pounced on Scipio and a female companion, demanding cash and jewellery as they were leaving a nearby hotel. The gunman discharged a round, hitting Scipio to the abdomen, and then relieved him of the jewellery before escaping on foot.
