The widow of Fazal Shaheed yesterday tearfully recalled his final words to her that he was “not going to make it” after being shot by bandits who had invaded the Lot 194 Freeman Street premises where relatives were preparing for a memorial service.
Rahima Shaheed was at the time testifying at the trial of Shawn De Santos and Stephon Howard who the police say murdered Fazal in the wee hours of September 24th, 2017 in the course or furtherance of a robbery.
The men have both denied the capital allegation levelled against them.
In her testimony Rahima said that she was in the kitchen with other relatives sometime after midnight assisting with food preparations for the one year memorial service of her father-in-law, when a figure appeared before her.
