Oliver Permaul, Andre James and Rohan Johnson were yesterday discharged over the 2017 murder of Tain mother Leilawatie Mohamed, after High Court Judge Jo-Ann Barlow found no evidence against them.
The judge noted that there was no evidence against Permaul and that the alleged caution statement which police investigators said they got from James and Johnson—had not been freely and voluntarily obtained and were therefore deemed inadmissible.
The judge would later uphold no-case submissions which had been made on behalf of the accused by their respective attorneys.
