Tyrone Da Silva was on Wednesday discharged of the allegation of unlawfully killing Ryan De Freitas, who perished in a boat collision on the Pomeroon River back in 2016.
Counsel for the former-accused, Lachmi Dindayal, made a successful no-case submission which was upheld by trial judge Navindra Singh who then formally directed the jury to return a verdict of not guilty.
Justice Singh found that the prosecution had not presented sufficient evidence to commit the case for the jury’s consideration.
